BOCA RATON, Fla. – Lynn University men’s golfer Giovanni Manzoni posted rounds of 70-69 for a one-under 139 to make the cut at the Omega European Masters, held at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Crans Montana, Switzerland. Manzoni is the only amateur to make the cut.
The sophomore out of Cremella, Italy, had a rough go to start the round, bogeying two of his first four holes only to birdie hole No. 7. A birdie on No. 12 moved him even and two birdies over his final five holes pushed him to one-under par on the day.
Manzoni is one of 76 golfers to advance, including Rory McElroy (-10), Sergio Garcia (-6), two-time defending champion Matthew Fitzpatrick (-2) and Lee Westwood (-1). Gavin Green is the overall leader at 11-under par.
The Second Team All-American is paired with Eduardo De La Riva and Joachim B. Hansen for an 8:19 a.m. local time tee time. TV coverage for the Omega European Masters begins at 6:30 a.m. on NBC Golf.
