Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño did not make the second cut at the McGladrey Classic, standard rule of the PGA Tour in every tournament that when after the second day, more than 78 players make the cut, a new cut is established on Saturday for the top 70 and ties.
The Madrid native finished with a 75 after a fateful day on the greens, and was left out of the cut, although he will still accumulate points for the FedEX Cup and money for the winnings list, a small consolation for the Spanish golfer.
Gonzalo's long game was much more refined than on Thursday and Friday, but his performance on the greens was simply woth forgetting. Hi didn't even make one putt from more than one meter away. And we're talking about a real statistic, nothing exaggerated. That being said, he had a really tough time recovering from the few greens he lost and was not able to take advantage of the options he created for birdie. He only made one, and it was on a par 5 (hole 15) that he caught in two shots. Too heavy of a burden to carry.
Gonzalo will take a short break now from the PGA Tour to defend the title he won last year at the BMW Masters, Shanghai. He will return to the European Tour, although it will only be in passing, due to the fact that the next stop after China will be at the OHL Classic in Mayakoba.
