Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 21, 2021 #35 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sabbatini said his wife wants to become US citizen so I assume he holds US citizenship as well. That's the only logical reason why a Slovakian woman would even be granted such an opportunity? I mean living in USA would mean nothing if she was married to a South African? Unless Sabbatini throws his US passport at the Immigrations office https://www.news24.com/sport/golf/pgatour/rory-sabbatini-now-playing-for-slovakia-20190112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
