Much of the golf world was pulling for Tiger at the Masters. There were a lot who thought Molinari would be tough to fend off.
Ever since the 2018 Quicken Loans that he won by eight, Francesco Molinari has been a machine. He won the Open Championship, had a perfect record at the Ryder Cup, a win at this year’s Arnold Palmer and a boatload of high finishes leading in.
He was the 54-hole leader by two at Augusta. Even though he couldn’t get to the finish line, he still finished T5 for his third top-five in his last four starts.
Molinari now shifts his attention to a tournament he’s just recently began to frequent. Molinari missed the cut back in 2011 and did not return until 2017 when he finished T22. He followed with a 49th in 2018.
But, as mentioned before, that was pre-summer 2018 Molinari.
He hasn’t played a terribly heavy schedule to this point and has just 16 recorded statistical rounds on Tour as the WGC-Match Play and Masters are not recorded. Nonetheless, he ranks 23rd in SG putting and has shown to have a solid short game in a match play scenario as he took third place.
He could be drained after a week like last week, but something tells me Molinari will be ready to redeem himself for Sunday at Augusta.
