Rocca disqualified in K Club

Ryder Cup player Costantino Rocca was disqualified from the Smurfit European Open today for missing his tee-off time – the day after American cup captain Tom Lehman received a two-stroke penalty for being a few seconds late.

The 48-year-old Italian, nine over par overnight, missed his alarm call and did not arrive until well after his scheduled 8.41am start.
