Rock rolls up for the Quinn Insurance British Masters
Rock is down to play next week
The Battle of the Brabazon will take place from 25th-28th September at the famous golf resort and local hero Rock will take on some of Europe’s golfing titans including reigning champion Lee Westwood, legend Colin Montgomerie and Paul McGinley, who holed Europe’s winning putt at The Belfry in the 2002 Ryder Cup.
Rock, 31, enjoyed his best European Tour result to date at the tournament in 2003, when he finished tied fourth alongside Darren Clarke, who will also be playing at the anticipated event.
As well as playing in front of a home crowd, the Quinn Insurance British Masters will carry extra pressure for Rock, who currently lies 118th on the European Tour Order of Merit. A strong finish will enable him to secure his Tour card for next season and qualify automatically for such prestigious tournaments.
The Midlands professional realised his dream of playing on The European Tour when, having taken up Affiliate Membership in 2003, he made enough money from his seven invitations to finish 116th on the Order of Merit and secure his full playing privileges for the following season.
“I’m really looking forward to playing at the Quinn Insurance British Masters. It’s always great to have the crowd behind you and playing on the Brabazon, a course I’m so familiar with, will give me a real chance of a strong finish. I hope many locals will be able to come down to The Belfry and lend their support while enjoying the tournament.” said Rock.
Andrew ‘Chubby’ Chandler, Managing Director of promoters International Sports Management, adds; “It’s always great news to welcome a strong local candidate to this tournament and we are delighted to invite Robert to return to the scene of one of his finest moments.”
