Outstanding start for Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-5) in the KC Golf Classic, where he shot a 66 in the first round, leaving right on the brink of the top ten, and three shots away from the four tournament leaders, American golfers Kyle Jones, Martin Trainer and Vince Covello, and Korean golfer Bio Kim.
Am excellent score that came as a result of a tremendously solid game from tee to green. The golfer from Madrid caught 17 regulation greens, the best stats in this part of the game at the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate, host to the tournament. Additionally, he finished the round off with not one significant error and a bogey-free card. It was, without a doubt, one of the most solid rounds of the year for the Spanish golfer, with no major setbacks, and which he could have taken all the way to the top if he were even slightly more accurate on the greens.
Thus, it goes without saying that it's a huge step forward toward reaching his main goal, which is to secure his presence in the top 75 of the Web.com rankings, obligatory to play in the Tour Finals, which he could achieve with a good score this week in Kansas. After reaching the first goal, logically, there are other, more ambitious goals that are still at reach, many more if he maintains the same level of play as this first round.
