Felipe Aguilar is embracing the challenge in his rookie season on the PGA TOUR Champions, and his first appearance at The Galleri Classic has been nothing short of a test of skill, patience, and adaptability. Competing at the historic Mission Hills Country Club, Aguilar has battled tough conditions over the past two days, including winds gusting up to 35 mph, making every shot a true challenge.
In his opening round, Aguilar showcased moments of brilliance but also faced the inevitable learning curve that comes with a debut event on the senior circuit. He navigated the Dinah Shore Tournament Course with precision in some stretches but left a few shots out there, finishing with a score that kept him in the mix but outside the immediate contention.
Saturday’s second round saw a stronger and more determined Aguilar, adjusting to the course’s firm greens and unpredictable gusts. His ability to stay composed and execute under tough conditions demonstrated why he belongs on this tour. While he didn’t crack the top of the leaderboard just yet, his mindset remains clear: go low on Sunday and break into the top 10.
For Aguilar, a seasoned professional with years of experience around the world, this rookie season on the PGA TOUR Champions is about establishing his presence and proving he can compete against some of golf’s biggest names. His journey reflects resilience and determination, and his confidence heading into the final round suggests he’s not done making a statement just yet.
With the final round ahead, all eyes are on Aguilar to see if he can put together a charge and finish strong in his debut at The Galleri Classic. Watch our exclusive interview with Felipe Aguilar linked below.
