NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State head men's golf coach Ray Kralis has announced that Italy native Pietro Pontiggia has been signed to a National Letter of Intent.
A native of Bologna, Italy, Pontiggia has attended the Manzoni - Scientific High School of Applied Sciences.
"Pietro has enjoyed a long run of success on every level, and he has proven he can go low on the biggest stages," said Kralis. "He has been well coached and it shows. His swing is very strong fundamentally and generates plenty of speed. He is highly motivated and performs equally well in the classroom, so I anticipate a smooth transition to the DI level and look for him to have an immediate impact on Redbird Golf.
