Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will compete in the Rex Hospital Open this Thursday, new edition of the Web.com Tour for those who didn’t get in based on the rankings, in which he was able to enter after the qualifying round on Monday. A proper extra ball.
The extra ball wasn’t just because of the fact that he got in after the qualifying round, but rather how he did it. Gonzalo shot a 68 and had to go into playoffs with nine other golfers competing for just one spot. An intense tie that turned out successfully.
The Rex Hospital Open is held on the TPC Wakefield Plantation course in Raleigh, North Carolina. Gonzalo will start this Thursday at 2:00 pm, Spanish time, with Tag Ridings and Andrew Svoboda. A fresh start and another opportunity to gain points in the Web.com Tour ranking with the objective of continuing to move up in his category in the tour and to finish the year off in the top 25.
