(ANSA) - Rome, November 19 - Francesco Molinari crowned a magnificent season by winning the European Tour's Race to Dubai on Sunday.
    The Italian clinched the title by coming joint 26th at the DP World Tour Championship.
    The 36-year-old became the first Italian to win a major when he triumphed at The Open in July.
    He was also the driving force of Europe's victory over the United States in the Ryder Cup in October, becoming the first European to win five points out of five.
    Molinari won the BMW PGA Championship this year too.
