Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-1) shot a 73 to finish off his performance in the Irish Open at the Ballyliffin Golf Club, which caused him to lose some ground, finishing in 37th place, far from the fight for the win.
Along the same lines as the rest of the week, the Spanish golfer had everything under control in the last round without running into too many problems, although he didn’t quite manage to get the score he had hoped for, nor to create the opportunity to be in the fight for the win. Throughout the weekend, when he arrived with all options open, not making a sole birdie on the par 5s in the two final rounds on the Irish course took its toll on Gonzalo, keeping in mind as well that these were the easiest holes played in the tournament. Despite this setback, he finished with birdies on the 14th and 15th holes today, strangely enough on two of the toughest holes of the course, in attempts to even out the scoreboard...
The golfer from Madrid will now travel to Scotland where the Scottish Open will take place, also a part of the millionaire Rolex Series tournaments, but he still has not secured a spot. On the one hand, he’s holding out to receive an invitation; and on the other hand, it’s quite possible that he’ll be one of the first on the waiting list there, in which case he could take advantage to opt out at the last minute due to injury or illness.
