(ANSA) - Rome, November 14 - Italy's Francesco Molinari has
hired the caddie who helped Justin Rose win the 2013 US Open,
gold at the Rio Olympics and the Fedex Cup in 2018.
'Fooch' Fulcher was forced to leave the Briton's side after
11 years because of a heart operation a year ago.
He will be working with Molinari, the 2018 British Open
winner, from January, according to US media.
"He'll bring a lot of experience, he won practically
everything with Rose and I always admired their rapport. Fulcher
has a strong personality and always says what he thinks. We'll
start working together from January, even though I haven't yet
established my programme well. He's healthy and is working hard
to regain physical fitness."
Molinari has suffered a fall in form since dropping former
caddie Pello Iguaran after a golden 2018 and, according to Golf
Digest, constant travelling from his base in London and the US
is giving him jetlag problems that have impacted his
performance.
"He'll have to choose whether to live in America," the
magazine said.
