Frenchwoman in the lead
Olympics: Spitz and Schober get off to a slow start
Austria's golfers Emma Spitz and Sarah Schober got off to a slow start in the Olympic tournament on Wednesday. Both finished the day at Le Golf National not far from Versailles with a round of 75 (3 over par) and tied for 36th place.
The two were ten strokes off the pace of local heroine Celine Boutier, who came into the clubhouse with seven under par, and five strokes off third place.
"That was a bit unnecessary"
Spitz came into the clubhouse with three birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey and then had to contend with the wind in particular. "It was very, very difficult today. If you don't really get into it right from the start, you feel like you're running a bit behind and unfortunately that was the case today. I had the feeling I was more of a passenger. The double bogey on 17 was a bit unnecessary," explained the 24-year-old on ORF.
Defending champion with difficulty
Schober recorded two stroke wins on the 18 holes, but also conceded three bogeys and a double bogey. The defending champion and world number one Nelly Korda also struggled, finishing in 13th place for the time being with a par round. The US-American is now seven strokes behind Boutier.
