Incredible Italian Wins the Race To Dubai to cap off 2018
Newly-crowned European number one Francesco Molinari said he would have "laughed" if anyone had predicted his successes in an "incredible" 2018 campaign that culminated with the Race To Dubai title on Sunday.
The 36-year-old Italian, who lifted his maiden major title at the British Open in July, wrapped up top spot in the European Tour's Order of Merit as his only rival for the title, his good friend and Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood, failed to win the DP World Tour Championship.
It finished off a season which also saw him claim the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, seal a first-ever tournament triumph on the USPGA Tour, and become the first European in history to win five matches at a Ryder Cup.
