Spectacular day for Italian golf at the KLM Open, essentially the Netherlands Open, taking place in Amsterdam on the route of The International, which hosts the event for the second time (with places also up for grabs for the 2024 Royal Troon Open Championship). Let’s start, first of all, with a splendid one Matteo Manassero, who celebrates his week of qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics with a lead of -7 (64 strokes on par 71). Only the Finnish equals it Mikko Korhonenalso the protagonist of a spectacular hole in one on the 4th (which he approached as if it were the 13th because he started from the 10th).
But it didn’t end there, because beyond the third place of an excellent Rikuya Hoshinowith the Japanese one shot away from the leading duo, is also there Edoardo Molinari smiling with one of the best starts of the season, which gave him fourth place at -5 together with the Englishman James Morrisonto the American Sean Crocker and Swedish Henrik Norlander.

Also Filippo Celli he has something to smile about: his last part of the round was fantastic, with three birdies in the last four holes which raised his odds considerably, bringing him to -4 in eighth place. With him the Norwegian Espen Kofstad and the English Ross Fisher and Callum Shinkwin.
The Italian triumph continues in the twelfth place, because in the group which also includes the best of the hosts, Joost Luitenthere are at -3 Andrea Pavan, Francesco Laporta and Guido Migliozzi. In short, a highly spectacular moment further enhanced by 23rd place in the group at -2 Lorenzo Scalise. The only discordant note was his bad day Renato Paratore who finishes 148th at +10 without ever finding a rhythm.
