Gavin Moynihan aims to get motoring on debut

Gavin Moynihan steps onto the first tee in Monza later today as the European Tour’s newest professional with Ryder Cup captains past and present praising the 20-year-old.

Moynihan received an invitation to contest the 72nd Italian Open on the Milano GC course alongside the famed Monza Autodrome which hosts the Italian F1 Grand Prix.

Five days ago Moynihan had helped steer Great Britain and Ireland to a record-setting Walker Cup success with Paul McGinley amongst those impressed by the young star.
