Final Qualifying: Shot 68-70 at Dallas (Texas) Athletic Club (Gold & Blue Courses) on May 20
Became the first Italian-born golfer to claim a major title when he posted a two-stroke victory in the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie. Paired with nine-time USGA champion Tiger Woods, Molinari carded a final-round 69 on the challenging layout. He will make his 14th U.S. Open start as a qualifier after posting 4-under 138 at Dallas Athletic Club. On the same day, his older brother Edoardo qualified in England. This will be the third time both will tee it up in the same U.S. Open (2010 at Pebble Beach, 2011 at Congressional). In 2019, Francesco held the 54-hole lead at the Masters Tournament, but shot a final-round 73 to finish tied for second behind Woods. A month earlier, Molinari claimed his 10th worldwide victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. Francesco caddied for Edoardo when he captured the 2005 U.S. Amateur at Merion. Francesco won the 2017 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, the DP World Tour's flagship event. Molinari has represented Europe on three Ryder Cup teams, including the 2012 Matches with brother Edoardo. In 2018, he posted a 5-0-0 record in Europe's victory in Paris.
