VIRGINIA WATER, England — Matteo Manassero has endured a frustrating time since winning the BMW PGA Championship two years ago but is refusing to panic because he believes he is performing well enough to turn the corner.
The Italian burst on to the scene in 2010 by landing the Castello Masters title in Spain, becoming the youngest European Tour champion in history at the age of 17 years and 188 days.
Manassero underlined his immense promise by following up with victories at the Malaysian Open in 2011, the Singapore Open in 2012 and at Wentworth 24 months ago.
