FORT WORTH, Texas – TCU senior Stefano Mazzoli has been selected to compete at the World Amateur Team Championship, Sept. 5-8 in Maynooth, Ireland.
Conducted by the International Golf Federation (IGF), the World Amateur Team Championships are a biennial international amateur golf competition that rotates among three geographic zones of the world: Asia-Pacific, Americas and Eruope-Africa. Mazzoli, a native of Montorfano, Italy, who earned PING All-America honors last season, was one of three selected for the Italian team.
Each team has two or three players, who each play 18 holes of stroke play over four days. In each round, the total of the two lowest scores from each team constitutes the team score for the round. The four-day (72-hole) total is the team's score for the championship.
Competition will begin at the Montgomerie and O'Meara courses at Carton House on Sept. 5.
Mazzoli has earned a lot of experience over the summer competing internationally. He played at the Arnold Palmer Cup, July 6-8, in France, before helping Europe win the St Andrews Trophy on July 27 in Finland.
Mazzoli is coming off his most successful collegiate season. He led the Frogs in five of the 11 events he competed in and finished with a team-best score average of 70.82 and was -0.68 under par, the fifth-best in school history. He improved nearly three strokes per round from last season's average of 73.78. Mazzoli also shot at or under par in 25 of the 34 rounds played, the fifth-best in school history.
Other TCU top 10 marks achieved by Mazzoli this season include a par 5 average of 4.6320 (third), a par 4 average of 4.0319 (sixth), a par 3 scoring average of 3.0845 (ninth) and 133 birdies (ninth).
Mazzoli had five top-10 finishes including a first place finish at the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate, Feb. 27-28, after recording a score of 10-under 206. He also shot 10-under 206 at the Amer Ari Invitational, Feb. 1-3, and finished tied for sixth in a very competitive field.
