Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will begin the ‘second half’ of his season this week, in the NBO Oman Open, European Tour tournament, followed by the Qatar Masters the next week, where the Spanish golfer will be. It’s his first contact of the year with the European Tour, after having earned back the rights to play in it at the end of last year in the Final Stage of the Qualifying School.
He’ll arrive after having left the job well done at the start of the Web.com, where he is currently among the top 25 in the rankings after four tournaments. Keep in mind that his priority in his plans and schedule is to compete in the US, with the objective of earning back the right to the PGA Tour card that he lost hold of last year.
This is a very good moment for Gonzalo going into this tournament, with no pressure, no urgency, and in good form. Additionally, the Al Mouj Golf (Muscat, Oman) has appealed to him since he first set foot on it this week. He’ll play on Thursday starting at 9:35 am (Spanish time) with British golfer Ashley Chesters and French golfer Raphael Jacquelin. Remember that Fernández Castaño has won seven tournaments in the European Tour in the past, the last of which was in 2013, before embarking on his American adventure.
