ROOKIE pro James Marchesani is no longer going to be introduced as Frank's son because more fine 68s like yesterday is the surest way to his own strong sporting identity.
The impressive youngster yesterday gave a terrific spin on how his competitive instincts were honed growing up with two brothers and a footballing father Frank, who played for Carlton and Fitzoy in the old VFL of the 1980s.
"Growing up, we had a chipping green out the back of home (in Rosebud). We'd always be competing even if it was just for the best spot on the couch to watch TV," Marchesani said at the Australian PGA.
"People have certainly always known me as Frank's son. That's good but it's cool to see my name on a leaderboard."

CONTROVERSIAL MP, mining magnate and resort owner Clive Palmer was on the menu at the Dinner with the Stars function at the RACV Royal Pines resort.
Clive was devoured by a succession of speakers following the drama-charged 2012 Australian PGA when Palmer effectively drove the tournament out of his Coolum resort.
Take your pick ... dinosaurs, painted signs on the fairways that ambushing tournament sponsors, vintage cars appearing on tee boxes and threats of a bulldozer tearing up the ninth green.
The entree was PGA of Australasia boss Brian Thorburn referreing to the 2012 tournament as the "Clive Crisis''.
MC Richard Champion served up the main course by saying Clive had sent his apologies because he was still attending a buffet breakfast meeting.
Dessert was served by Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek who said he loved that "Clive loves dinosaurs so much'' because it meant the tournament was now on his Gold Coast patch.
