Simpson himself is also afraid of being good. On the first day, he bogey at hole 2 par4. The next day, the score of hole 2 was still the same as the rounding score of only -1 when the hole 3 ended.
“Whenever the wind is quiet, I think I have to hit 7, 8, 9 strokes. After 12 holes, I only negative 1 so I feel pressure. But the ending is really satisfied,” Simpson said personally. He scored a birdie 7.6 meters away in hole 4, then scored the same in all last three holes. In both rounds, Simpson scored 65 strokes.
