Jon Rahm, the end of the streak after 22 cuts

In Charlotte (USA) the Wells Fargo Championship, a tournament of the PGA Tour, has reserved the first verdicts between surprises and excellent eliminations. In North Carolina, with a total of 136 (-6) strokes, the British Matt Wallace and the Americans Gary Woodland and Patrick Rodgers lead the leaderboard. Third elimination in the last four tournaments played for Francesco Molinari, who returned to the race one month after his 52nd place at The Masters. The Turin player, with an overall score of 146 (72 74, +4), left the scene after a test closed in 74 (+3) with 4 birdies, 5 bogeys and a double bogey.

After 22 consecutive cuts, the streak of the Spaniard Jon Rahm (world number 3) stops, also out to the cut with the same score as Chicco Molinari and Will Zalatoris (second in his debut at The Masters). Max Homa's race also ends prematurely. The American, outgoing champion (he won the tournament in 2019, in 2020 he did not play due to Covid) and fresh from 6th place at the Valspar Championship, disappointed expectations (153, +11). Among the big names, Patrick Cantlay and Jason Day (champion in 2018) did not take the pass for the weekend, out with 145 (+3). On the course of the Quail Hollow Club (par 71), a good comeback by Rory McIlroy (winner of the competition in 2010 and 2015), who climbed from 73 / a to 5 / a position (138, -4) at the end of a round highlighted by a 66 (-5), supported by 6 birdies and spotted by a bogey. While Phil Mickelson slipped from first to tenth position (139, -3). They disappoint Justin Thomas (second in the world ranking), 41 / o with 142 (par), Xander Schauffele, 51 / o with 143 (+1), and Bryson DeChambeau, 64 / o with 144 (+2).

In Italy it is possible again to organize and play golf competitions in the yellow zone. The good news was communicated in time by the Federgolf.

After the one relating to the abolition of the examination of the rules, the Federation issues another circular (number 16), less surprising than the previous one but very much awaited.

Starting from April 26, 2021 it is allowed, exclusively for the territories located in the yellow zone, to carry out any sporting golf activity outdoors, in compliance with the guidelines adopted by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - Department for Sport.

After careful analysis of the current legislation and unless otherwise and any guidance should be provided by the Department of Sport of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, any golf sporting activity, events, demonstrations and competitions (including social and pro -am) if carried out outdoors and in compliance with the Federal Protocol.

With reference to the performance of the amateur sports activity referred to there, the use of changing rooms is prohibited unless otherwise established by the guidelines referred to in the first sentence.

For the territories located in the orange and red areas, the prescriptions made with previous legislative measures remain valid and effective.

A great step forward after months of lockouts or general play. Once again it's up to us now to respect the rules (not just those of golf) so that golf never stops.
