Latest
news: Edoardo Molinari wins first Challenge Tour event
In the
summer of 2005, The Big Dog attempted to
qualify for the US Amateur at the Hayfields Country
Club outside of Baltimore, Maryland.
David was
paired with another local player and a young golfer from
Italy, Edoardo Molinari. This 36-hole, one day event had
77 players vying for 3 spots on a scorcher of a day and
Trevor was on The Big Dog's bag.
After 18
holes David was 1-under and in 3rd place with Edoardo at
even par, the Big Dog was feeling good about his game!
After a quick half-hour break, the second 18 hole began
with a strong birdie start by the Big Dog and things were
looking good. The great camaraderie between David, Trevor
and Edoardo on that day led to a great finishing round of
67 for Edoardo and Medallist honors and a trip to Merion
for the US AM!!
Yours truly
barked in with his tail between his legs with a final
round of 76. Afterward, Edoardo showed us pictures of
Tiger and Jack from the British Open in St. Andrews where
Edoardo was low amateur! He then asked Trevor if he was
interested in caddying for him at the Amateur and a great
friendship was born! This team then proceeded to win the
US Amateur in an amazing fashion. You will have to have
Trevor tell you the stories from that great week.
As a result of the win, Edoardo was invited to play in the
Masters, U.S. and British Opens, the Colonial, the
Memorial, and the Verizon at Hilton Head. Trevor was
Edoardo's guest at the Master's and then was fortunate to
caddy for Edoardo in two PGA tour events (Bank of America
Colonial and Jack Nicklaus' Memorial) and one Major, the
US Open at Wing Foot where they were paired with Tiger
Woods and Michael Campbell the first two rounds.
Trevor says, "This year was almost dreamlike or
surreal although when looking at the pictures from
these events he just can't believe how he has been so
blessed!"
Trevor and I would like to thank Edoardo for allowing us
to share the great moments with him and in becoming such a
good friend. We dedicate this fan Web site to him and wish
him all the best in his professional golfing career! |
