Francesco Molinari's Golf Clubs

Francesco Molinari

Residence: Turin, Italy
DOB: 11/08/1982

One of two famous Italian golfing brothers, Francesco Molinari turned professional in 2004 and earned full status on the PGA European Tour the following year. In 2006, he clamed his maiden Tour Victory – the Telecom Italia Open – which helped him finish 38th on the Order of Merit with prize money of over 650,000 euros. He is the younger brother of Edoardo who just nine months before Francesco’s maiden win became the first European since 1911 to win the US Amateur Championship (2005) so these two siblings are clearly worth keeping an eye on. Francesco learned his game Circolo Golf Torino Club where he still plays. Enjoys snowboarding – and is a big Inter Milan supporter.

Tournaments

2007	BMW PGA Championship

Between 24th and 27th May 2007, the BMW PGA Championship was played out on a rain-lashed West Course at Wentworth in Surrey. Traditionally, the PGA attracts one of the strongest fields on the European Tour and this time was no exception with Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Michael Campbell and others all making the trip across the pond. It was not, however, one of the better known superstars who walked off with the trophy and 725,000 Euro first prize, but Anders Hansen from Denmark who holed a 25 foot birdie putt on the first sudden-death play-off hole against England’s Justin Rose. This was only Hansen’s second victory on Tour – bizarrely the only other win was the same tournament – then called the Volvo PGA – five years earlier in 2002.
