Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-3) is in the fight for the win in an Andalucía Valderrama Masters where uncertainty is rewarded. The golfer from Madrid had barely played seven holes in the second round, with a partial of one under par in the first round, which he finished this morning, and a spectacular two under par in the afternoon.
Gonzalo Fernández Castaño likes to lay it straight, thus, he himself broke out the calculator to find out exactly what he needs this week in the Andalucía Valderrama Masters to finish in a minimum of 116th place in the Race to Dubai, which would secure the rights to play in the European Tour 2019 season. And the outcome is quite clear: he needs to end up among the top 15 to guarantee he reaches his goal.
Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño did not have the Sunday he had hoped for in the British Masters, but it was enough to take another step forward in his quest to maintain the card for next year. He arrived to Walton Heath just a bit over 70,000 points away from his objective, and he’ll be leaving at 50,000. Good progress, which can still lead to finishing the job next week in the Andalucía Valderrama Masters.
Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño (PAR) made the cut in the British Masters after shooting a 72 in the second, very difficult round at the Walton Heath. The playing conditions were tough, but the golfer from Madrid stuck it out, and ended up tying the duel with the course and managed to maintain his spot at the top of the rankings.
Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño will play in the British Masters starting this Thursday, the second-to-last opportunity to accumulate enough money to maintain the rights to play in the European Tour.
Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-1) did not make the cut in the Alfred Dunhill Links after shooting a 68 on the Old Course at St. Andrews in the third round, a good score and great reaction to yesterday’s performance, although insufficient in making the cut, which became quite complicated after shooting a 77 on Friday.
