Golf, Us Open: Molinari and Migliozzi are disappointing

At the Us Open the show in the first part of the day was offered by Rory McIlroy. Very precise with the putt, the Northern Irishman closed at -3, dirtying his score with the only bogey right at the 18. Rory hasn’t won a major since 2014, but this year he played well both the Masters (where he arrived 2 °) and the Pga Championship (8th) where he was leading at the end of the first day. That he is in good shape is also testified by his victory last week in Canada.

Dull blues

The result of the two Italians in the race was more disappointing. Francesco Molinari delivered in the clubhouse a card with even 6 bogeys, not offset by 3 birdies: + 3. Guido Migliozzi just better than with two bogeys and two birdies he could have been partially satisfied, if there was not a double bogey at 13 due to the fault of the second shot in the water. The final score (+2) is weighed down by this stumbling block. Today we will have to do much better to at least pass the cut.

Fiorellini wins

Italian golf is consoled with the success of Francesca Fiorellini at the Annika Invitational in Sweden, a prestigious youth tournament. The 16-year-old from Rome, on the course of the Vasatorp Golf Club (par 73), overtook the Swedish Nora Sundberg (69 73 72) who had finished second in 2021 on the fourth hole of the play-off. of 214 (-5) strokes but to win, in the end and with a par, was the young blue. She who thus signed the second international success after last January at the Portuguese International Ladies Amateur. “I’m really happy for the success, it was a long challenge that ended in the best way.”
