The 74th edition of the Italian Open, the ninth hosted by the Milan Golf Club, saw a new attendance record with 73,000 spectators, a field of grand champions and, for the first time, $7,000,000 in prize money.<\/p>

The top national golf event, spearhead of the 2022 Ryder Cup Project and included among the eight world-class tournaments of the European Tour’s Rolex Series, was won by England’s Tyrrell Hatton with 263 (-21), edging out compatriot Ross Fisher and Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnat by one stroke.<\/p>

At Golf Club Milano, during four beautiful sunny days, the sight was impressive. A human wall of enthusiasm with many families and many children captivated by the feats of the competing champions, who were always ready to go for autographs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 73rd Italian Open saw Francesco Molinari triumph, the first Italian to win the top national competition twice since it became part of the European Tour circuit in 1972.<\/p>

The Italian champion repeated his 2006 success after getting the better of England’s Danny Willett, the defending Masters champion, by one stroke, finishing the tournament with 262 strokes (-22).<\/p>

The seventh edition of the Open hosted by the Milan Golf Club was a success with the public, despite the bad weather on the first two days: in fact, there were 47,000 total spectators over the four days, and, with 20,000 spectators, Sunday’s event broke the previous single-day attendance record. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 72nd edition of the Italian Open Golf Championship saw the surprise triumph of Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg. With a total score of 269 strokes (-19), Karlberg achieved his first success on the European Tour by overtaking Germany’s Martin Kaymer on the second playoff hole, thanks to a decisive birdie.<\/p>

The sixth edition hosted by the Milan Golf Club saw an extraordinary turnout, with 48,000 total spectators and 16,000 on the last day alone; with these numbers, the previous attendance record of 41,000 for the 2008 Italian Open at the Castello di Tolcinasco Golf Club was surpassed.<\/p>

Among the Italians, an excellent performance by young amateur Lorenzo Scalise, a home player, who finished in 11th place with -16, the best result by an amateur since 2004.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our club has had the privilege of hosting the Italian Open on 9 occasions: 1951, 1952, 1956, 1981, 1984, 1990, 2015, 2016 and 2017.<\/p>

In 1951, Scotland’s Jimmy Adams got the better of compatriot Eric Brown by one stroke, finishing with 283 strokes. The following year it was Eric Brown himself who took his revenge, triumphing by 6 strokes over Italian champion Alfonso Angelini.<\/p>

The 1956 edition saw the success of Argentine Antonio Cerda in a playoff with Belgian outfielder Flory Van Donck, after both athletes finished the tournament at 284 strokes.<\/p>

After a very long hiatus, Italy’s top competition returned to the fairways of the Milan Golf Club in 1981, when Spaniard Jose Maria Canizares triumphed in a playoff with American Bobby Clampett. Third, just two strokes behind the leaders, is young German Bernhard Langer, future winner of two Masters.<\/p>

In 1984 the victory was the preserve of Sandy Lyle with 277 strokes. The great Scottish champion, later winner of an Open Championship (1985), a Masters (1988) and 5-time member of the European Ryder Cup team, triumphed by 4 strokes over American Bobby Clampett.<\/p>

The 1990 edition, won by Englishman Richard Boxall with an extraordinary score of -21 (267 strokes), saw the participation of many top names. They include Spaniards Severiano Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal, American Craig Stadler, Scotsman Bernard Gallacher-a Ryder Cup captain in 1993 and 1995-Argentinean Eduardo “El Gato” Romero, and Fiji Islands champion Vijay Singh. The large Italian contingent included Giuseppe Cal\u00ec, best placed sixth, Costantino Rocca, Baldovino Dass\u00f9, Alberto Binaghi and Silvio Grappasonni.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
