Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will play in the Omega European Masters starting this Thursday, his third week in a row of competition since the long break over the summer. The tournament will be held, just like every year since it was incorporated in the European Tour in 1972, on the same course as always at the Crans-Sur Sierre Golf Club (Crans-Montana, Switzerland), a course that isn’t exactly among the Spanish golfer’s favorites, although he does have a solid sixth place under his belt from 2007.
Fernández Castaño, in any event, is feeling optimistic, seeing as how his tee to green game has shown some significant improvements in these past weeks. “The work with Jamie (Gough) is paying off, and it seems like things are falling into place, more and more every time. I’m hitting the ball much better, despite not having been so hot with potter these past two weeks, so I’m very excited for such a pivotal moment in the season”, he remarked on Swiss terrain.
The improvement is perfectly reflected in the stats, indeed, mostly last week in Sweden, where he hit more than sixty percent of the fairways and more than seventy percent of the regulation greens.
The golfer from Madrid will play on Thursday starting at 9:20 am, alongside Portuguese golfer, Pedro Figueiredo and South African golfer, Richard Sterne.
