Groove Factor
Boys want to be like him, girls simply adore him. The 17-year-old Italian is undoutedly golf's most exciting young talent. He created a huge stir when he became the youngest champion at the British Amateur Championship in 2009. Mannesero went on to make the cut at the subsequent Masters tournament as a 16-year-old amateur - an amazing acheivement, to say the least. Unaffected by the weight of expectations on his young shoulders, he beat Ignacio Garrido to win the Castelló Masters Costa Azahar shortly after turning professional.
