Polo Ralph Lauren signs 17 year old Matteo Mannassero, low amateur at Masters
Mr. Manassero, only 17 years of age and a native of Verona, Italy, is setting records at every turn. Recently ranked the #1 amateur in the world, Manassero became the youngest player to ever compete in and make the cut at The Masters Tournament, where this past April he capped an outstanding amateur career with a historic performance. Manassero qualified for the 2010 Masters by virtue of his victory at the 2009 Amateur Championship, where he became the youngest winner in the history of the Championship. This victory also earned Manassero a place in the 2009 Open Championship at Turnberry. Competing at only 16 and alongside another Ralph Lauren sponsored professional, Tom Watson, for two rounds, he finished tied for 13th.
“I am proud to have been chosen to represent RLX Golf,” said Matteo Manaserro. “I have always loved the brand and feel that the apparel will lend me the comfort and technical edge that I need to perform my best on the course.”
