The Italian golfer is ready for the Augusta Masters after leaving London for Los Angeles: “I took advantage of the stop of the Tour, now career and family in the US”
A year and a half ago he was racing with Tiger Woods to win the Masters. Then, at 12, a ball in the water to break the spell that quickly turned into a sports nightmare with a few holes to go. At the Augusta National, Chicco, the only Italian to have won a Major, the Open Championship of 2018, has the opportunity to close the accounts with that bad day that, he admits, has haunted him for a while. Also because this year Francesco was stopped for seven months. Taking advantage of the lockdown he decided to move to California with his wife Valentina and children, Tommaso and Emma. After 12 years in London and in the midst of a pandemic, it wasn’t easy. But now, in Georgia, it’s time for a change of mood.
