Italy With Francisco – Molinari (Francesco Molinari) recorded a few super-fantastic long push, eventually won the 2009 Omega Mission Hills World Cup of Golf. From multiple point of view, this victory was historic. First of all, this is the first time Italy won the World Cup of Golf; second, this is the first time in history brothers World Cup title.

“I think this victory is very important, very significant.” Brother Francisco – Molinari said, “This is the first time Italy won the World Cup, but also the first time two brothers won the World Cup. I hope that this World Cup, China caused a sensation in Italy. I think we deserved because we played well this week. ”

Francisco – Molinari is no exaggeration to say that, especially in the final round of foursomes. With a disadvantage entering the final round, Italy and most of the time lurking in the back. However, in the first 12 holes and 13 holes long straight win pushed the case and we rush to embrace and eventually shot a 68 under par 4, to 259 (64-66-61-68), lower than the par 29 victory. Defending champion Sweden and the former three have been leading the Irish team, shooting 69, 70, eventually placing him second place score of 260, below par 28. England and then behind two, fourth. Performance of the Chinese team is not satisfactory, after the surrender of 73, only ranked tied for 22.

Event a beginning, appears to be Ireland and Sweden for the title. Swedish team in the third hole birdie five holes later, up to a tie for the lead. After the departure of the Irish team has a hole in the same big problem. McIlroy, after the ball entered the woods, McDowell breathtaking save, the club hit the trees. That is a hole in their bogey instead, one shot behind.

However, Ireland will soon bounce back. The fourth hole four holes, McIlroy hit his second shot beautifully, leaving the 12-foot putt, Mike Doyle, a birdie push, once again tied for the lead up to. The next three holes, they also have to play well. The fourth hole 4 hole, McDowell won the 12-foot birdie putt on the fifth hole par three holes, McIlroy pretty kick-off, leaving the 6-foot birdie putt, but also grasping a bird. 7th hole par-five, McDowell two hit the green, McIlroy pushed the ball into the hole, the Irish team captured fourth straight birdies. This time they will look far better than other units, and won a third World Cup.

However, after entering the back nine, the situation has undergone major changes. The first nine holes, Francisco – Italy’s many grasp the middle-distance birdie putt at the 12th hole in his first 13 holes won two consecutive recorded more than 30 ft long birdie push success, performance up to par 29 and eventually became a leader.

The final stage, of course, Jose Maria Olazabal course at the 18th hole. Henrik – Henrik Stenson (Henrik Stenson) in the green there is a very nice long push, more than 50 feet, a great pity that the ball hit the hole after the bomb out. Sweden did not catch birds, not able to force a playoff. The situation is similar to the Irish team. McDowell about a 15-foot birdie putt, but the ball in the hole a few inches in front of stopped. Ireland’s team also failed to force a playoff.

In fact, Omega Mission Hills World Cup does not appear to extend the game but also because Italy’s hold on at a crucial moment of the. In the fairway, multi-Gege Ai Oddo – Molinari (Edoardo Molinari) hit his second shot at the time, too nervous, and ball hit into the greenside bunker. He is extremely painful, Yanmian squat down. In such a critical moment, his brother Francisco – Molinari saved Italy. His sand save quite beautiful, and placed 3 feet. This time, more than Gege Ai Oddo – Molinari is no longer nervous. He was a forward hole, then jumped up excitedly. “I pushed the last one is not nervous when the effort to maintain, unlike the previous one did.” Edo Oddo – Molinari said, “I am very excited to win such a push to win World Cup of Golf.”

For this victory, Molinari brothers will win the 1.7 million U.S. dollars first prize, each population to 85 million U.S. dollars. Taking into account the Edo Oddo – Molinari just last week won the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan, this is a time in two years.

By contrast, this week is a Chinese team lost time. That they are only tied for No. 22. Since 1995, the first time China sent a team to participate in golf since the World Cup, which is six times the Chinese team participating in the second-lowest ranked one. In fact, the Chinese team performed the first eight holes is also pretty good for less than a 2-under par, but the ninth hole due to an election under mistake, they swallowed a double-bogey. After that, they have been ups and downs and eventually handed over 73, higher than the par 1, to 277 (65-71-68-73), less than the standard 11-under par finish. For this week’s competition, Zhang Lian-wei evaluation failed, saying it was Liang Wen-chong he and partner play the worst one. Liang, also believe that the results and they are set to be much weaker. On the solution method, Liang Wen-chong said: “I think China is very important point is to introduce a good coach. We both itself is also an insider, I hope a good coach to help us take a look.”
