David Puig, statements
Puig, 21 years old and who plays at LIV Golf, repeated his 66 shots from the second day.
In the first one he finished with 64. This time he made four birdies (holes 2, 4, 5 and 18), in addition to an eagle on hole 8. "I played very well again, I hit many fairways and greens and some putts in the first nine holes.
In general I played very well, very stable and I am happy." His result in these 54 holes is the lowest of the season on the Asian Tour and he also has the largest advantage that has been reached this year before the last round.
"It doesn't matter if I'm leading like this week or if I'm playing quite poorly, I always feel frustrated because I always want to achieve the best possible result," Puig acknowledged at the end of the day. Puig's best result is fourth place in the International Series in England.
The following week he had a three-stroke lead after two rounds in the St Andrews Bay Championship, but finished fourteenth in a tournament won by Eugenio Chacarra. Last year he was the leader after three rounds of the International Series in Morocco, in his first tournament on the Asian Tour, in which in the end he was third.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are applied outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respect for the rules is a basic element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on the self-control and free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, consciously at times, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to non-compliance on the part of many players of the game rules.
In addition to rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the round with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
