Gonzalo Fernández Castaño (-5) went out with a bang in the Valero Texas Open. He shot a 67 on the AT&T Oaks Course at TPC in San Antonio for an incredible comeback, having finished in thirteenth place.
The Spanish golfer’s best results in the PGA Tour since the RBC Canadian Open in 2014, precisely the tournament where he ended up securing the PGA Tour card for the first time, in which finished fourth.
Gonzalo made three birdies and an eagle with no errors. An extraordinary performance, in large part due to the putter. He was the fifth best of the tournament in that aspect of the game, according to the official PGA Tour stats.
This grand finale will allow Gonzalo to breathe easier in his quest to maintain the PGA Tour card this year. It’s a serious push in the right direction toward securing the card for next season, although he’s still got a long road ahead. For the time being, he’ll move up more than thirty places in the FedEX rankings, although he’s still far from the top 125, which are those who will maintain the card.
The other good news is that Gonzalo will improve his position as far as the next re-rankings. Additionally, he’ll be playing in the Zurich Classic, PGA Tour pairs tournament held at TPC Louisiana. Gonzalo will play alongside Martin Flores.
