Italian trio Matteo Manassero, Francesco Molinari and Edoardo Molinari will join the world class field for the 2011 Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre.
They will join Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy in Switzerland as they Italians look to follow in the footsteps of Costantino Rocca, who won the title in 1997.
Manassero, who turned 18 earlier this year, is chasing his third European Tour title and will be hoping to build on his third place finish in last year’s Omega European Masters, which assured him of a European Tour card for 2011. He went on to become the youngest European Tour winner when he captured the Castelló Masters Costa Azahar, adding the Maybank Malaysian Open in April.
Edoardo Molinari finished second behind Miguel Angel Jiménez in last year’s Omega European Masters and will be hoping to go one better.
The Molinari Brothers have accumulated four European Tour Titles and were part of the victorious European Ryder Cup Team last October.
