Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño signed off on a 74 after the first session of the Wells Fargo Championship, PGA Tour date held on the Quail Hollow course in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It's not the most ideal beginning for the Madrid native, who finished on Thursday with two bogeys and sixteen pars, a tough round, difficult to manage, with few options for a birdie, although he didn't have to go through too much to salvage the pars.
If this round had to be defined in just one word, it would be monotonous. Gonzalo didn't get himself into trouble, he caught a majority of the fairways and a good part of the greens, but he just wasn't able to land the ball close to the hole. The best option for a birdie that got away was on hole 5 (he started on the 10th), when he missed a putt from a little less than a meter away.
In any case, the +2 results left the door wide open to the weekend for Gonzalo, seeing as how the cut could turn out to be a par.
The two bogeys of the day happened after a couple of miscalculated shots. On the 7th, it landed in the water right off the bat, but even so, he still managed to get a dignified six, putting for five. Whereas the bogey on the 15th was the result of missing the second shot, obligating him to drop the ball between the trees. Harsh punishments on both occasions.
As far as the tournament, the current leader is Argentinian Ángel Cabrera (-6), with a one-shot advantage over various other players, among which is Phil Mickelson, one of the favorites. Rory Mcllroy ended up with a -3.
