Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-9) shot a 68 in the third round of the Scottish Open, four shots away from the leader, but with a considerable amount of golfers in between, all with the possibility of winning at reach. As many as 26 golfers will start the last and definitive round on the hunt for leader Jens Dantorp (-13), at only a four-shot advantage.
Additionally, the golfer from Madrid is currently in the running to fight for one of the three spots that will be granted for the British Open next week. It’s going to be tough, no matter what the objective, but Fernádez Castaño has managed to at least leave his options open. And, in the end, what he also wants is to accumulate points in a week in which the stakes are higher, to secure his spot in the European Tour rankings before returning to the US and the Web.com.
His good attitude and patience served him well once again in the third round, much more complicated than the previous rounds due to strong winds. The Spanish golfer, who missed a few short putts for birdie and for par at the beginning of the round, came back in the best possible way with birdies on the 4th and 6th holes, maintaining his position and saving various delicate situations by falling back on his skills and by keeping his head on his shoulders throughout a very difficult day.
The Spanish golfer will play in the fourth round with American golfer, Charley Hoffman, starting at 2:50 pm (Spanish time), almost two hours before the big game of the day, with the goal of giving it his one hundred percent in an exciting round of golf.
