Golf: Molinari Win's Arnold Palmer Invitational
By: Francis Joseph
Francesco Molinari fired an impressive eight-under 64 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes on Sunday.
The Italian was bogey-free during the final round at Bay Hill, finishing at 12 under to win ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick (71).
Molinari had four birdies on the front nine and four more after the turn, including a 44-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that sealed his third PGA Tour victory.
He carded a 64 to finish just one stroke shy of the final-round record (63), which was set by Gary Koch in 1984.72nd hole .
"I don't know, I'm just super glad," Molinari said after his round, via Golf Digest.
"First week as a Callaway player, so happy to seethat the switch I made wasn't as crazy as some people thought. The clubs are good for me and I showed it this week.
"It's great, to do it here, to get it done here at this place knowing that my wife and the kids were watching back home, it's just a special, special one."
