The difficulty of the game at the Maserini Stadium seems to be higher than that of the Gargomm Castle. Evan Ferguson had a more difficult challenge here. Starting from the back nine holes of the course, he passed the first seven holes with an even par, and it was not until the par-4 17th hole that he made his first birdie of the day.

Ferguson, who transitioned at -1, was tested on the course’s front nine. He suffered consecutive bogeys on the 2nd and 3rd holes. Then he made 2 birdies and 1 bogey on the 5th to 7th holes. The ups and downs on the front nine holes of the course led Ferguson to end the round with 3 birds and 3 bogeys, even par. His overall score is still -9 and continues to lead.

Ferguson said following the game: “I created a lot of putting opportunities in the game, but I mightn’t take them. There are some putts that don’t feel well and end up going into the hole, and some that feel great. Hit the ball and holed it out, but it was a great day nonetheless.”
The closest to Ferguson on the leaderboard is Spain’s Borja Verto. In this round, Virto moved from the Maserini Stadium to the Gargomm Castle Stadium. This round he started from the 1st hole of the course.

Coming to the front nine holes of the course, Virto’s touch fluctuated. Although he made birdies on the par-4 Nos. 2, 4 and 6, he suffered a bogey on No. 3 and a double bogey on No. 7, putting him in the top nine. The hole ended up being even in and out, ending in an even-par score.
