Robert Rock Net Worth, Income, Salary, Earnings, Biography

Robert Rock (born April 6, 1977) is a professional golfer from the United Kingdom. He was born in Armitage, near Lichfield in Staffordshire, and grew up and had his education in Rugeley, which is also in the county. In 2003, he became a member of the European Tour as an affiliate member, and he has been a member ever since.

 His breakout season came in 2009, when he achieved three second-place results, including a tie for first in the Irish Open, when he lost to Irish amateur Shane Lowry in a three-hole playoff after tying for first. In the Race to Dubai, he completed the 2009 season in the top thirty, which was a personal best. Rock earned his first European Tour victory at the BMW Italian Open in Turin in June 2011, marking his professional debut. In the end, he won by a single stroke over Gary Boyd and Thorbjrn Olesen, despite the fact that Olesen had a final round 62. After qualifying via a European sectional qualifying tournament, he made his debut at the United States Open the following week. It took him more than 12 hours to arrive in the United States on Thursday morning due to complications with his visa application, which he had to deal with on the way to his match. Although this was the case, he achieved an even-par opening round of 70 and ended tied for 23rd place at 3 under par overall. A one-shot victory against Rory McIlroy helped Rock win his second European Tour title at the 2012 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, which was held in Abu Dhabi. He started the final round at 11 under par, tied for the lead with Tiger Woods, but he outperformed the American on Sunday, shooting a 2 under par round of 70 to win the tournament by one stroke. He has contributed to the Worldgolf.com website by writing a column. He is one of just a few professional golfers that does not wear a hat while playing, despite the fact that it may provide additional sponsorship money.
