Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will begin his participation in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans this Thursday, PGA Tour tournament held at the TPC Louisiana Avondale course. It's a classic on the American tour calendar. Not in vain, the first edition was back in 1938 (Harry Cooper won) and some of the best in the history of golf constitute its winners pool: Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret, Billy Casper...
Gonzalo is looking to find those good vibes again this week. Vibes that have been present during some of his best moments in his last two appearances in Houston and Hilton Head, which he now needs to be able to find on a consistent basis. He finished with two cards for 68 shots in his last five rounds, which means the game is there, although he lacks consistency and a solid base.
There’s no better place to make peace with his swing than New Orleans, a city widely known as the birthplace of jazz. Gonzalo will play starting at 8:00 pm, Spanish Peninsular time, accompanied by Eric Axley and Bernd Wiesberger. Exactly 30 years ago Severiano Ballesteros came out with the victory in this very tournament. It was his second-to-last victory on US soil. His memory is, without a doubt, a source of extra motivation for Fernández Castaño.
