Day 2 of the Triple A European Open brought excellent weather and bright sunshine to San Roque Club, but the testing winds remained a major factor. As the day progressed, gusts grew stronger, demanding precision and patience from the field and setting up a thrilling leaderboard heading into the final round.
U21 Boys – Hawkins Takes Control
Antoni Hawkins moves into the outright lead after a composed second round featuring four birdies, with a steady level-par back nine helping him edge ahead in difficult afternoon winds. His consistency across both days has put him firmly in control going into the final round.
Oliver Camargo Jones sits just one shot behind in second after producing the best round of the boys’ field on Day 2 — an impressive 71 (-1). With six birdies in his second round, he showed attacking intent and kept himself right in contention for the title.
Tied for third are Thaddeus Huainigg, Ernie Elford and Ewan Widor. Huainigg closed his round strongly with a level-par back nine, while Elford showed remarkable consistency by carding matching rounds of 75. Widor delivered one of the standout performances of the day — battling to 4-over on the front nine before producing a stunning 4-under back nine to sign for a level-par 72 and climb into contention.
