Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (+10) wasn't able to pass the cut at the Honda Classic, on a course, the PGA National Champions course (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida), that proved to be incredibly harsh during the first two rounds with those who are not hitting the ball well, or those who don't feel secure on the course.
This wasn't the best week to revamp his game, in light of the habitual demanding nature of this course and, above all, of playing conditions, mainly with a lot of wind, apart from water and the consequent suspensions.
There's nothing the Spanish golfer likes less than to look for excuses for a bad score, but it really is true that the blows went hand in hand with the day's agenda, almost grotesquely so. Even the Number 1 in the world, Rory McIlroy (+7), had to pack his bags after two cards of 73 and 74 shots. Thomas Bjorn (+8), who was playing alongside the Madrid native and who saved the first round with an excellent card for PAR, succumbed today with a 78.
The fight for survival that had been contemplated this week was unsuccessfully carried out and, thus, lacking conclusions to be drawn, Fernández Castaño is headed for Puerto Rico, an event in which it will surely be much easier to get his vibes and his game under control.
