Location

Tangier, Morocco

The Hilton Classic enters its decisive second round at the Al Houara Golf Club in Tangier, Morocco. After an opening 18 holes that saw the Italian contingent set a high bar, the field must now contend with a course that has become increasingly firm under the North African sun. Strategically, the par-5s on the back nine remain the key scoring opportunities, though the heavy coastal winds typical of the afternoon in Tangier could quickly turn a birdie chance into a fight for par. The spotlight remains on the battle for the top of the Order of Merit. With former Ryder Cup star Chris Wood fresh off a victory at the Al Houara Classic just days ago, his presence in the field adds a layer of veteran pressure on the younger professionals. For those sitting just inside the cut line, the goal is simple: avoid the deep "waste areas" that line the fairways and secure a spot for the final trophy charge.
