Manassero crowned Rookie of the Year

As predicted by Ian Poulter, Italian wunderkind Matteo Manassero has won the European Tour's Rookie of the Year award following a record-breaking start to his professional career.

The teenager turned pro in May before making history at the Castello Masters in October as the youngest ever winner in European Tour history (taylormade burner rescue hybrid )at the age of 17 years and 188 days.

Manassero finished 31st in the Race toDubai andjoins the likes ofPoulter, Nick Faldo,Sergio Garcia,Paul CaseyandMartin Kaymerin picking up the Sir Henry Cotton award.

"It is a big honour to win the rookie of the year award (taylormade r7 cgb max)," he said. "I never expected to win on tour so quickly and to win the rookie of the year award is a perfect way to end my first season as a professional.

"It is such a special award because you only get one chance to win it, so it is a great honour.

"When you see the amazing players that have won the award in the past, you see how important these players were in golf's history and to have your name beside them is exciting.

"Then you see that Martin Kaymer won the Rookie of the Year only three years ago and now he is the number one in Europe after winning the Race to Dubai. I hope I can follow in Martin's footsteps one day."

By utilizing a lightweight titanium face,

PING engineers made the iron club face larger and added 27 grams to the perimeter for a higher MOI. The iron's extra-wide sole features a low and deep center of gravity to promote high trajectories and low spin. High launch angles allowed iron lofts to be strengthened without compromising control. A large internal weight pad in the hybrids produces a high MOI for added forgiveness. The hybrid's offset hosel and face relationship increases launch and lowers spin.
