Early life and amateur career
[edit]Colombo won several junior amateur events in his home country, before taking up a golf scholarship to the University of Arkansas in 2007.[1] He spent a year in Arkansas before leaving school.
Professional career
[edit]In 2008, he turned pro. He reached the final stage of qualifying school for the European Tour. Playing the final stage as his first professional tournament, Colombo finished T-29th and earned a place on the European Tour for 2009. After a slow start, making only one cut, Colombo concentrated on the second-tier Challenge Tour, and subsequently played full-time at that level for two further seasons, with a best result of T2nd in the 2010 Kazakhstan Open.[2] In 2011, he recorded eight top ten finishes in 20 events to finish seventh in the rankings and secure a return to the European Tour.
