The feel-good story of the RBC Canadian Open came on Friday, when Kramer Hickok revealed it was a text from his roommate, Jordan Spieth (maybe you’ve heard of him?), that inspired him to make his first ever cut on the PGA Tour.
Which is great for Hickok, but quite frankly, does nothing for Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño.
The 36-year-old veteran is in a slump, having not made a cut since the FedEx St. Jude Classic back in early June - when he was cut after 54 holes - and he seized the opportunity Saturday to poke a little fun at himself, asking for a text from Spieth to help him get back on track.
Hey @JordanSpieth, can you please text me too? It's kind of urgent as I haven't played a full weekend since May. Thanks a lot in advance. https://t.co/ldSeun1xBR

A text from @JordanSpieth gave @KramerHickok the inspiration he needed to make his first cut on the PGA TOUR.https://t.co/0nr9MHFctK pic.twitter.com/YFqP0UoFIu

A quick look at Fernández-Castaño recent Twitter activity shows he’s not joking, it is urgent. So pick up the phone, Jordan, cause this is rather depressing:

69-72 (-1) to MC @JDCLASSIC. Hit it much better but birdie putts didn't want to drop. Next stop @BarbasolPGATOUR in Auburn, AL next week.

73-67 (E) to MC last weekend @GbrClassic. Great to be back to WV after the terrible floodings they had just a year ago. I love this place!

69-73 (+2) to miss the cut @TravelersChamp. Hit it poorly off the tee. Week off next week to try to fix my swing & get ready for @GbrClassic
