FJ player Matteo Manassero shot a 4-under 67 in the final round to win the Castello Masters and become the youngest winner ever on the European Tour. Manassero wore FJ Sport style #53102 and a StaSof glove en route to victory.
At 17 years and 188 days old the Italian teenager beat the previous record set by the winner of the 2008 Johnnie Walker Championship who was 18 years and 113 days
"I am too young to have a drink, I am too young to drive so I will not be buying a car and I have not got a girlfriend who would like a present," he said.
"But this was my first chance to win a tournament, which I never thought would come so quickly and to do it is unbelievable. My first aim when I turned professional was to win enough money to keep my card for next year and I achieved that in September."
Manassero started the final round at the Club de Campo Del Mediterraneo two shots behind the overnight leader. But at 16-under he eventually won by four shots.
