American golfer Keith Mitchell has surged to the top of the leaderboard at the Valspar Championship in Miami after an impressive eagle on the final hole, securing a 10 under par for the tournament. This remarkable performance has positioned him two shots ahead of Ireland’s Seamus Power, Mackenzie Hughes, and Peter Malnati as they prepare for the championship’s final day.
Mitchell’s exceptional round of 66 propelled him to the lead, despite a challenging start with three bogeys on the front nine. However, a strong recovery on the back nine, including birdies on holes 12, 14, 16, and 17, set the stage for the spectacular eagle on the last hole.
In his post-match interview, Mitchell acknowledged the combination of skill and luck in his performance, expressing confidence in his shot execution for the upcoming final day of the championship. He emphasized the challenges posed by the course, particularly the impact of wind and the size of the greens and fairways, underscoring the need for control and precision.
Close behind Mitchell are Seamus Power and Peter Malnati, both trailing with a score of 8 under. Power, who recorded four birdies and a bogey, expressed the difficulty of achieving a low score on the challenging course, highlighting the tough competition and the daunting task of breaking away from the pack.
