On 18 -par 5-  I made a great  second shot from 190 yards with the 7-iron and it landed to 12 feet to make an eagle ",said the Argentine that made his first cut in five starts on Tour this year.

Philippe Gasnier also had a 62 during the tournament but the tiebreaker favored the argentine as he finished in a better position.
