History happened at the Jonsson Workwear Open on the DP World Tour when Italian Matteo Manassero recorded 66 in the final round to win in three strokes, and this earned him his very first victory on the said tour after eleven years.
After losing his card back in 2018, Manassero is finally back on tour for the first time in five years. He concluded the tournament on 26 under par, with three shots ahead of other players tied for second place.
Manassero’s long wait
Manassero won the BMW PGA Championship in 2013 before going on a hiatus from the sport for five years. Despite this, he still holds the record for being the youngest champion in the DP World Tour history, which he won in 2010 at the age of 17.
“It has been a crazy journey but in the last few years I knew I was getting back on track,” Manassero said.
“Golf is such a difficult game, I am just so happy to be here now. I played well today, but the guys behind were playing some incredible golf, and every time I looked at the leaderboard it was a new name with more birdies,” he added.
