Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño (-10) shot a 71 in the last round of the Digital Ally Open, Web.com Tour tournament held on the Nicklaus GC course at Lionsgate in Kansas City.
The Spanish golfer made four birdies and four bogeys, an accumulated total that wasn't sufficient enough in his quest to move up to the top positions of the tournament. The opposite, rather. He went down ten spots, finishing in 34th place, far from where all the action happens.
Be that as it may, the good news is that Gonzalo has maintained his 77th place in the Order of Merit established by the Web.com Tour tournament, in other words, just over two thousand dollars from 75th place, the first objective of the season.
Fernández-Castaño continued with a solid game from tee to green all week, but the putter was not there when he needed it. It seems to be a pattern from many other tournaments this past year.
Gonzalo has three finals left to play in order to attempt to secure his spot within the top 75 and to be able to breathe easy, why not, hit it big in a grand finale and finish among the top 25. Next date on the calendar, the Price Cutter Charity Championship.
