Frankie
Francisco Molinari is the Italian golfer known for beating Tiger Woods in the 2018 Open championship held at Carnoustie golf course in Scotland. Carnoustie is known as being one of the toughest golf courses in the world. Not only was it the first Major win for Frankie but also more significantly the first Major win by an Italian. 2018 was a fantastic year where he won several times and was the European golfer of the year.
Molinari would face Tiger Woods again in the final round of the 2019 Masters. Francisco held a few stroke lead going into the famous par 3 12th hole hole known as Golden Bell. The 155 yard may be short but it is also very dangerous. The dramatic hole has decided many Masters championships over the years. The hole crosses Raes creek and presents players with swirling winds. Frankie would go on to hit the ball into the creek, and like many other golfers over the years end his chances at winning the coveted Green Jacket. Tiger would go on to win a remarkable 4th Masters in his 40's.
The 2024 US Open was held at the USA's home of golf the challenging Pinehurst #2 in North Caorlina. Pinehurst has 10 courses you can play and is open to the public. If you ever happen to get the opportunity to visit, you must go. Pinehurst with it's lovely Carolina hotel, quaint village, and renowned Southern hospitality is simply heaven for golfers.
Frankie whose golf game has been struggling in recent years would come to the last hast hole needing a hole-in-one on the par three 9th hole to make the cut and continue playing on the weekend. Francisco would go on to the Ace the hold recording a miraculous hole-in-one. Incredible, fantastic, historic!

Francisco is known as being one of the good guys on tour and it was terrific to see such a magical shot at the venerable Pinehurst. Frankie's brother Edoardo is also a professional golfer and is known for winning the 2005 US Amateur at historic Merion golf club in Merion, Pennsylvania.
This is why golf is both enchanting, demanding, and exhilarating.
With Love,
