Costantino Rocca Biography

Costantino Rocca is one of the most popular and richest Golfer who was born on December 4, 1956 in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. Costantino Rocca (born 4 December 1956) is a famous Italian golfer from Italy. He has been regarded for a long time as the best male golfer Italy is producing, up to the success that was Francesco Molinari, who credited Rocca as an influencer to him after the victory at the 2018 Open victory. After a long time with the European Tour, Constantino is currently playing as a member of the European Seniors Tour. He has won five European Tour wins and is most well-known for his second-place finishing in the 1995 Open Championship, and his hole in one during the 1994 Ryder Cup.

In 2001, the European Tour season was the final time Rocca placed in the top 100 of the Order of Merit, though Rocca was still exempt until the year 2006 because of the win in 1996 at the Volvo PGA Championship win. Rocca was the first to make the European Seniors Tour debut at the 2007 Sharp Italian Seniors Open, and he won his first senior event just two weeks later during the Irish Seniors Open. He finished 2008 with seven top-five finishes and was ranked 9th in the Order of Merit. His highest finish was tied third at his participation in the Azores Senior Open.

Rocca was the first Italian to play for Europe in the Ryder Cup, and remained the only Italian to do so until 2010, when Francesco Molinari qualified for the Ryder Cup held in Celtic Manor and Edoardo Molinari was a captain’s pick. He appeared in 1993, 1995 and 1997, and had a 6-5-0 win-loss-half record, including 1 win and 2 losses in singles matches. That one singles win came in a crucial match against Tiger Woods in the 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderrama, which Rocca won 4 & 2 to help Europe claim the cup. The victory against Woods was one of Woods’ first losses in singles play. His 53% winning record in the Cup is one of the best in European team history. During the 1995 Ryder Cup, Rocca made a hole-in-one on Oak Hill’s sixth hole, only the third ace in Ryder Cup history. In 1999, Rocca almost qualified for the Ryder Cup again after he won the West of Ireland Golf Classic.

Rocca played his last European Tour event in 2015 at the Italian Open, an event he played in 33 times but never won.

At the end of round one of the 1995 Open Championship, Rocca sank the 60-foot (18-metre) putt on the 18th hole at St Andrews to make birdie and make a four- hole playoff John Daly, but Daly defeated the match by four shots. Rocca’s second best finish in majors was a tie for fifth place at the 1997 Masters Tournament; he was in the final pair on Sunday. He started the final round second just nine shots back of the 21-year-old Tiger Woods, and he ended up finishing 15 strokes in front of Woods.
