Congratulations to Edoardo Molinari , pupil of putting coach Phil Kenyon, who was once again victorious in Scotland when he birdied the last three holes to win the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

The 29 year old Italian was two behind Australian Brett Rumford with three holes to play.

He then two-putted the long 16th, sank a curling 30 footer at the 194 yard 17th and then hit a chip to within 18 inches of the final hole.

"Playing on 16, I thought I was one behind, and I had two par fives to play and thought that I still had a chance to win the tournament if I make two birdies in the last three," said Molinari.

"So I was playing very well and I knew I could do it and when I got on to the 16th tee and hit a great second shot   I thought I had a great possibility.

"I knew I had to do two birdies on the last three at least to tie him and I had a big putt on 16, I think that was very important. And I hit it safely on the green on 17, and just before I hit the putt, Colin, my caddie told me I was owed a putt, because I hit a lot of good putts today that didn't go in, and he was right, because it went right in the divot and it was a difficult putt, as well.

Molinari has worked extensively with Phil Kenyon over the last 18 months, a relationship that has seen victories in the 2010 Barclays Scottish Open, the 2009 World Cup, the 2009 Dunlop Pheonix Tournament in Japan and topping the 2009 Challenge Tour Order of Merit.

In the past year the Turin golfer has climbed from The Challenge Tour into the top 20 of The Official World Golf Ranking.
