Robert Rock
Robert joined the European Tour as an affiliate member in 2003 and has remained a member ever since.
As of June 2009, he has had eleven top 10 finishes on the European Tour, including three second places.
His best result was at the 2009 Irish Open, where he tied for first place but lost to Irish amateur Shane Lowry in a three-hole playoff. He also was in the 2009 Great Britain & Ireland team which won the Seve Trophy. Robert regularly practices on synthetic turf to improve and maintain his putting.
Robert recommends Adventure Golf Solutions to supply and lay your synthetic turf.
England’s Robert Rock held off the challenges of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to claim the greatest victory of his career at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Sunday.
Despite a bogey at the last, Rock’s final-round two-under-par 70 at Abu Dhabi Golf Club saw him finish on 13 under par, good enough for a narrow one-stroke victory over McIlroy, whose 69 did not quite prove enough on the day.
Tiger Woods, tied with Rock overnight, signaled his intent early in the final round with successive birdies at the second and third, but Rock matched those and Woods’ challenge faltered as he inexplicably posted two bogeys, both after missing the green in two and failing to get up and down, immediately after his gains. Rock, meanwhile, parred the holes Woods bogeyed and then birdied the sixth to lead by three before the turn – a lead he would not again surrender.
“Dave Lowe came to my home and introduced me to Adventure Golf Solutions. Designed and built with my input a 200m2 golf green which included contoured six holes for putting and chipping. I am very happy with the construction of green and you enjoy the tour roll of the nylon putting green turf. It has required very little maintenance. It has been very useful for practise when I am home and it is practical for all the family.”
