Alfonso Angelini (1918–1995)[1][unreliable source?] was an Italian professional golfer and instructor after World War II.[2]
Angelini was runner-up at the Italian Open in 1950 (lost playoff to Ugo Grappasonni), 1952, 1958 and 1959.[citation needed] He won his first international tournament when he beat Gerard de Wit in the playoff at the Dutch Open in 1955.[citation needed] He also won the Swiss Open in 1957 and 1966 and the Portuguese Open in 1962 and 1966.[citation needed] In 1968 he played the World Cup in Rome with Roberto Bernardini, finishing third behind Canada and the United States.[citation needed] He played The Open Championship six times, finishing 12th in 1954.[citation needed]
Angelini lost to Ken Bousfield in a playoff for the 1972 PGA Seniors Championship at Longniddry, Scotland. He took a bogey 5 at the first extra hole to Bousfield's par 4.[3]
Angelini and Grappasonni were teaching pros at the Golf Club Villa d'Este. Together with Aldo Casera they founded the Professional Golfer's Association of Italy in 1962.[citation needed] The three men were known as the "three musketeers".[citation needed]
