The path is less clear for the other two Spaniards in the tournament, Joseba Torres and Santiago Tarrío. The Basque player, who is on an upward trajectory thanks to his good results in the last month, starts in 23rd place, while the Galician player (39th) needs a near-miracle to break into the final Top 15.

En la primera ronda, el citado Joseba Torres tuvo un comienzo inmejorable al rubricar 65 golpes —siete bajo par— que le situó al frente de la clasificación.
