For his first major tournament, Michael Lorenzo Vera offered the cut to the British Open. A solid 70 (Par) this Friday in Birkdale for a total of +5 just in the nails. And the Basque can be proud of his fight against the elements. He is the only Frenchman present this weekend.
No doubt, Mike Lorenzo Vera has passed the top speed this season. For his first steps in Grand Slam, the Basque offered himself a first passage of cut. It is not a feat, except when you start your week with a 75 (+5) and you go through a second lap in the fan mode (more than 60km / h at the worst of the day) and torrential rains Were stopped 1 / 4h to relieve the greens!). This Friday was a pure golf challenge in front of the Frenchman with the sauce "The Open". A challenge as much mental as technical.
"It was frankly brutal"
And MLV answered 100% in all sectors: "The playing conditions were much worse than yesterday," confirmed Mike. It was frankly brutal. More than the rain, it was the wind that really bothered me. But, with the game I delivered, nothing could stop me. "
One goes in the par (bogey at 6, birdie at 9) and returns of the same order with two birdies (11, 17) against two errors (12, 18). A complete part with no less than 61% of greens affected in regulation (a solid perf by such a wind in Birkdale) and especially 28 putts.
Wind control
Only eight of the 77 survivors of the cut played under the par and only four others (including MLV) signed the par ... At the sight of this carnage green, we measure a little better the real performance of the French this Friday. "70 today, under these conditions, it's great," Lorenzo Vera shouted. The day was tough, but I slammed good shots. It was very solid all day. I'm happy because we worked well with Benoit (Ducoulombier, his coach), including blows with the wind coming from the left. This is what happened very often during this second round ... "

So place at a first weekend in Grand Slam at 32 years for Mike Lorenzo Vera. The first objective, therefore, remains the bonus to be gleaned. "We will continue like this and aim as high as possible," he concluded. Everything worked well in my game today (Friday). And I have to use this to go a little more ahead this Saturday ... "Depart at 9:40 am local time alongside Webb Simpson to go a little further.
