I always felt sorry for rocca, The british press had a field day after he lost his match to davis love at the 1993 ryder cup match , He got a slating for getting beat when the english golfer Barry Lane Was 3 up with 5 holes to play and lost to chip beck, and he never got hammered.
Costatino Rocca and Baldovino Dassu are the best Italian golfers I have seen. Roccas competitive mind, and good putting almost won him a major, while his swing and long game seemed pretty ordinary compared to tour standards. With Dassu it was the opposite, while he only won 2 tournaments on the European tour, both in 1976. A composite of these two, would have given us another latin player like Seve Ballesteros. In 1976 golfing journalists also mentioned Ballesteros and Dassu together.
