About Fabrizio Zanotti

Zanotti was born May 21, 1983, in Asuncion, Paraguay. He stands 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 154 pounds. Before he turned professional in 2003, he was the top-ranked amateur golfer in Paraguay for six years.

Zanotti's lone victory as a professional golfer was in 2007, when he captured the top spot at the second event of the European Challenge Tour, the Abierto Mexicano Corona. He carded a 9 under par to claim victory in that event.

Zanotti has been familiar with the game of golf since he was 2 years old, when, according to his profile on the European Tour site, would "run behind my father with a small stick and a ball -- I'm not saying I was playing at that age, but I already had the bug."

As an amateur golfer, Zanotti twice represented Paraguay during team play for the Eisenhower Trophy. The event occurs every two years and is a world amateur team championship that is organized by the International Gold Federation. He appeared in that event in 2000 and 2002.

Zanotti played in the PGA Tour's Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun in 2007, and finished tied for 26th place. He shot 4 under par for the tournament, which included a second-round score of 63. He won nearly $26,000 at the event.
