Winner’s Bag: Francesco Molinari’s mixed gear at the 2018 British Open

July 23, 2018

Thiry-five-year-old Francesco Molinari from Turin, Italy, shot a final-round 69 at Carnoustie to capture the Open Championship, his first major win and the first ever for an Italian native.

Molinari’s impressive eight-under-par total bested Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy, Kevin Kisner, and Xander Schauffele by two strokes. The win was the third of the year for the Ryder Cup vet who is now the sixth ranked player in the world.

Below is a full list of Molinari’s winning gear, all of which he chooses for himself as he’s a former Nike player who currently does not have an endorsement deal for clubs:
