Italy's only ever major winner, 2018
British Open champ Francsco Molinari, said Wednesday that he
missed winning after a long barren spell partly due to injury
and was looking forward to the Ryder Cup in Rome next year as
well as the Paris Olympics the year after.
Molinari, 39, became the first European to win five points from
five matches at the 2018 Ryder Cup after a sensational week in
Paris.
"I'm missing winning and I hope success may come soon," the
Piedmont-born star said in an interview with ANSA.
"Missing the Olympics due to injury was hard and I'm now looking
to Paris 2024, the Games are already in my thoughts, just like
the Ryder Cup in 2023.
"And a propos of the Olympics I'd like to wish a speedy recovery
to (skier) Sofia Goggia, she is a very great (champion). Will
Luke Donald be Europe's captain in the coming challenge with the
US in Rome? I think he's the likeliest name".
Molinari recently returned to form with a sixth place at The
American Express in California and is this week playing the
Farmers Insurance Open.
