Guido Migliozzi Player Profile And What's In The Bag

By: | Mon 26 Sep 2022


Article Updated in June 2024


Guido Migliozzi will want to wrap up the 18th hole at The International GC after a sixth birdie of the week at the hole secured him the KLM Open after a three-man playoff. It is the Italian’s fourth DP World Tour title.

He began the final day one shot off the lead but found himself three clear in a tie for top spot at one point and led alone by one early on the back nine before two bogeys left him two behind.

He then birdied the 16th and 18th to sign for a 70 and finish at 11 under alongside Joe Dean and Marcus Kinhult.

The three all made two-putt birdies on the first trip back up the par-five last and while Dean and Kinhult both made par at the second attempt despite the Englishman hitting a poor tee-shot and the Swede finding the water, Migliozzi found the green in two and left himself two feet for a sixth four on the closing hole and a dramatic win.

Migliozzi's victory sees him earn a place at The Open Championship next month alongside Dean, who edged out Kinhult for the second spot by virtue of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Dean came home in 30 to post a closing 68, the same score as Kinhult, with Dane Rasmus Hojgaard and Italy's Andrea Pavan finishing a shot out of the play-off.

Migliozzi burst onto the DP World Tour scene in some style five years ago, winning twice in his debut season after coming through the Qualifying School.

He also won the Open de France in 2022, producing possibly the shot of the season to take the title on the last and once again he has won a prestigious national open after late drama.

"I never thought I was done," said Migliozzi, who moves up to eighth on the Race to Dubai and third on the European Swing. "I've always been in position and tried to make birdies and come back and here it is now. It's an incredible feeling, it's been an incredible battle, well done to everybody. It's super, super nice to be here now."
