Congratulations

Well done to Francesco Molinari who won his first european tour tournament in his second year on tour this weekend. He also ended the wait for an Italian winner of the Telecom Italia Open which has spanned 26 years.

Congratulations are also due to Kelsey MacDonald who shot an 8 under 64 in the qualifying of the Northern Counties Championship at Forrest Golf Club and went on to win the title in the match play stages. For a 15 year old this is quite impressive.
