Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will compete in the US Open qualifying round this Monday. One tournament. 36 holes. Two rounds of golf. And one sole objective: to obtain one of the spots to play next week at Erin Hills. The US Open will be held from June 15th to 18th at the epic course in Wisconsin.
Gonzalo Fernández Castaño will play on the Brookside Golf and Country Club course and the Lakes Golf and Country Club course in Columbus, Ohio, the place where the PGA Tour Memorial Tournament is taking place the same week, which means that there will be many high-level golfers from the PGA Tour competing with Gonzalo to earn their place in the US Open.
The qualifying round where Gonzalo will play is one of the ten held tomorrow at the same time throughout the entire US, from coast to coast. For the moment, the number of available spots has not been made official where the Madrid native will be playing, but if we keep in mind that there are 120 golfers participating, the most probable outcome is that there will be between six to eight. It will be announced before the qualifying round starts. Among the golfers who will compete with Gonzalo to play in the US Open are: Vijay Singh, Danny Lee, K.J. Choi, David Lingmerth, Ryo Ishikawa, Luke Donald and Bryson DeChambeau. High level.
If Gonzalo makes it through the qualifying round, he’ll be fighting for the big 20, a fantastic number. The last one he played in was the PGA Championship in 2014 and his best score was, precisely, in the US Open at Merion in 2013, when Justin Rose took home the title. Fernández Castaño will play alongside Luke List and Clark Klaasen starting at seven in the morning, local time, one in the afternoon, Spanish time.
