“It felt great to go out there and put a good round on the board on a very tough day. I started the day with the goal of staying patient and trying to take advantage of the holes I knew I could get after but also being smart on those holes that were playing a bit tougher,” said Fernandez Cano. “Especially the downhill holes, it got really hard to stop the ball on the green. I am glad I could climb some spots and stay up there on the race for my card.”
