Italy’s most decorated golfer Constantino Rocca has confirmed he will be part of a strong European Senior Tour field at the inaugural Son Gual Mallorca Senior Open from May 8-10.
Rocca, who memorably lost in a play-off to John Daly in The 1995 Open Championship at St Andrews, won the Senior Tour Rookie of the Year in 2007 and is one of the most consistent players on the over 50s circuit.
The former Ryder Cup player will be joined at the event by Irishman Des Smyth, who has previously tasted success in Spain winning the Madrid Open in 1993.
Rocca and Smyth have both registered for the tournament at Son Gual Golf, in Palma, with many more of the leading Senior Tour players to follow suit.
Mallorca’s finest golf address is certain to provide exemplary playing conditions for Europe’s best senior professionals during the €300,000 event, which has a first prize of €45,000.
Andy Stubbs, European Senior Tour Managing Director, said: “We are all looking forward to our inaugural tournament in Mallorca and we would like to thank Andreas Pamer and his family for the great efforts they are making in preparing the course and the wonderful facilities of Son Gual. We are also extremely grateful to IBATUR and Langer Sport Marketing for all of their support in making this tournament happen and for giving many of the Senior Tour golfers their first chance to play on the beautiful island of Mallorca.”
