Fantastic second round of four ball in the Zurich Classic by Gonzalo Fernández Castaño and Martin Flores (-7), who shot a 65, six under par for the day, and thus managed to make the cut.
And quite demanding: some pairs did not make the cut who were originally in the lead, mainly Fowler and Day, and Stenson and Rose.
Although it’s principally a team strategy and effort, Fernández Castaño had an outstanding performance, who made five of the six birdies, which is what essentially allowed the pair to move up on the scoreboard, apart from saving a difficult par on the first hole of the round (they teed off on the 10th), when his partner was already out of the game mentally. The Spanish golfer was able to maintain the solid rhythm he demonstrated last week, and he’s still going to be able to accumulate a good handful of points at TPC Louisiana.
Gonzalo and Martin are eight shots from the leading pair, Swedish golfer Jonas Blixt and Australian golfer Cameron Smith (-15), but the third round in the foursome format will definitely have a big impact on the rankings.
