There will be no Web.com Tour championship. The tour board leaders have decided to cancel the last tournament, the Web.com Tour Championship due to a real threat, very worried about Hurricane Matthew. It’s supposed to take Florida by storm, literally, in the next few hours and, more specifically, the Atlantic Beach area, tournament headquarters. Thus, it was definitively suspended. Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño is already on his way back home.
The Web.com Tour decided that the definitive winnings list will be the total accumulation of the first three tournaments of the Final Series. As a result, Gonzalo finished in twelfth place. That result allowed him to earn card number 25 in the PGA Tour of the 50 that were granted in the Web.com Tour (the other 25 correspond to the top 25 of the order of merit in the regular season).
Not the best weather situation at Atlantic Beach.

His 25th place, in theory, will open doors to all tournaments for Gonzalo up until January. A brilliant way to come back to the PGA Tour with a bang.
