FRANCESCO MOLINARI was the first professional golfer from Italy to win a major at the 2018 Open Championship.

The Italian finished the 2019 Masters T5, two strokes behind Tiger Woods, and that was his best finish in his career.

Valentina Molinari, the wife of Francesco Molinari, is an Italian success story.

Like Francesco, Valentina was also born in Italy. However, the couple now live in London.

Mrs Molinari earned an MBA from European Business MBSC while she was in England. This is what she uses to travel around the globe with her husband.

Francesco's first major win of 2018 was included.

They have been married since 2007, and decided to get married back in Italy, before they moved to England.

Valentina posted a touching message to Instagram on their 10th anniversary. It read:

"Ten years
Ten years of you
Ten years of your life
Ten years that seem like they flew by
Everything shared for ten years
It took me ten years to feel as loved as I am today
Ten years of loving you more and more
Ten years later, I still feel fortunate
Ten years of pride
It's been ten years since the most beautiful date.
