Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño will dive head first into the mother of all battles this Thursday. It’s the beginning of the end, the Final Series of the Web.com Tour. Four consecutive tournaments that will dictate which 25 players will accompany the other 25 who already earned the PGA Tour card when the regular season finished. Four tournaments where there’s no option other than to look forward, make a lot of birdies and stay high in the rankings.
The starting point will be the DAP Championship. There’s no better place to set the stage and to open fire. The headquarters of the tournament, the Canterbury Golf Club, a historic course in the US, one of the two that have been host to the five majors: US Open, PGA Championship, US Amateur, US Senior Open and Senior PGA Championship. Almost one hundred years of history on this course in Beachwood, Ohio, just half an hour from the Cleveland city center.
Every tournament has to be all or nothing, although it’s also true that there is room for error. Anything that’s within the top 5 would mean almost definitively paving the way toward the card. That’s what Gonzalo will attempt to do, who will arrive in Ohio with lots of confidence in his game, just as he wrote in his blog.
The Madrid native will start to compete in the tournament at 9:09 am local time, 3:09 pm in Spain. He’ll be playing alongside Argentinian golfer, Andrés Romero and American golfer, Timothy Madigan.
