Solid Saturday for Brown

Mark Brown had another good round in Holland today with a 2-under par 68 to move to 3-under for the tournament. Brown was once again superb from tee to green and made tap in par after par as once again he hold too few putts. Brown had 31 putts in an otherwise brilliant display in warm and calm conditions at the Kennemer Golf and Country Club. After a bogey start after finding the left rough off the tee, Mark eased into his rhythym with birdies on two and chances on three, four and five. His luck changed as he took his chances on holes six through eight. On the back nine Mark continued his excellent ball striking but failed to capitalise and bogeyed sixteen after finding the right hand rough and failing to up and down from a missed green. Brown’s play is infinitely better than anything seen over the last few months but he needs to keep patient and keep working on his putting. After the round he managed to watch the All Blacks game before a quick lunch and off to the putting green ahead of his first Sunday round of golf since the Wales Open in early June.
