Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-4) turned in one of the best cards of the second round, which was finally concluded after all the problems brought on by the bad weather. He shot a 68, which shot him up in the rankings, and has even opened up the possibility to win in the final round. The Andalucía Valderrama Masters will be played in 54 holes in the end, and thus, there is only one more round, which we be played this Sunday if the rain and electric storms permit.
In that regard, not much more ground can be covered, seeing as how the weather forecast has been off, day after day. The golfer from Madrid, however, has got the sensation back of seeing himself in the last games of the final round with the option to win, although the leader, Sergio García (-10) has quite a big advantage.
The last time Gonzalo found himself in that situation was just shy of eight months ago, in Qatar. On that occasion, he started in the last round in ninth place and five shots away from the leader, while this time he’ll start out in fourth place, six shots from the leader. Be that as it may, the first objective he set for himself in the days before the tournament, that of finishing in the top 15 to secure the European Tour card for 2019, is well on its way.
The Spanish golfer will play in the second-to-last game of the day starting at 10:50 am (Spanish time), in the best company, with Álvaro Quirós (-4) and Lee Westwood (-3). And he’ll do it with fond memories; two out of his seven wins in the European Tour were also in tournaments that were concluded after 54 holes due to immense weather complications.
