It is well known that there is a new sensation in the golf world. That is the Italian teenager Matteo Manassero. Manassero shot a 4-under 68 Sunday to earn a one-stroke victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open, upstaging Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and Rory McIlroy. Manassero had an eagle on the par-5 10th and added two birdies on the back nine to finish at 16-under 272 two days before his 18th birthday. And that was the best for him. Manassero, who became the European Tour's youngest winner with his victory at last year's Castello Masters, said it was "just fantastic" to earn another trophy before turning 18. "It was tough," he said. "The course is really tight and all the players were doing good and playing well. It's just not easy to concentrate, especially to stay calm." Nevertheless, they still performed well with their irons. McIlroy, who had to take a nearly 30-hour flight toMalaysiaand arrived only a day before the tournament began, looked visibly tired during the final round, despite maintaining his smile for the huge crowd swarming around him. However, his caddy ran out of patience when some spectators ignored the ban on taking photos while players were teeing off and asked officials to confiscate some of the cameras. |
