Most of his success came in continental Europe as he won a number of tournaments in his native Italy. He also won the Swiss Open in back-to-back years, 1968 and 1969. Late in 1969, he won the Agfa-Gevaert Tournament, an international tournament played in West Germany. He scored 281, defeating South Africa's Graham Henning by a stroke. [1] It was his fourth win on the European circuit that year. This excellent play helped Bernardini qualify for the Masters Tournament in 1969 and 1970.
Bernardini had some success outside continental Europe, however. He reached the semi-final of the 1970 Long John Scotch Whisky Match Play Championship and finished joint third in the 1972 Sunbeam Electric Scottish Open. [2] [3] He also made a number of appearances in the Open Championship between 1966 and 1980 with best finishes of tied for 17th in 1970 and tied for 13th in 1972.
After reaching 50, Bernardini played on the European Seniors Tour, his best finish being runner-up in the 1996 Hippo Jersey Seniors.
