Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will play in the KLM Open starting this Thursday, the eleventh tournament of the 2018 European Tour, a tournament of which Gonzalo will have fond memories for a lifetime, seeing as how it was his very first victory in 2005.
However, it could be considered a love-hate relationship between this course and the golfer from Madrid, it seems as though there is no middle ground: or he does extremely well, to the point of winning once, or doesn’t make the cut. Gonzalo has accumulated three top 5s (he won in 2005, came in 4th in 2010 and 5th in 2014), but he missed the cut on all other occasions, except 2014.
The Spanish golfer, focused on this final stretch of the European Tour, needs a good score that will allow him to maintain the rights to play in 2019. So far, the pairings are good news for Gonzalo. He’ll play on Thursday and Friday with Álvaro Quirós, a very good friend of his, and Argentine golfer Ángel Cabrera, old friend who’s shared adventures and misfortunes with Gonzalo, who will go into the tournament having just turned 49 years old.
