Francesco Molinari will not even find evidence of former glories in his own home. “I don’t have a trophy room,” Molinari said. “I don’t think I have a picture of myself playing golf in the house.”
A replica of the Claret Jug he won in 2018? “I’ve got it somewhere,” he said. “It’s not exposed. It’s not in the middle of the living room. I’m not that sort of guy. I don’t need to see it, I can still remember.” Which is probably just as well, given the on-course problems Molinari has encountered in recent times. That Open glory at Carnoustie was his last victory on European soil.
