Rocco Mediate Wins First Champions Event and Comes "Home" To Naples This Week

Part time Naples resident Rocco Mediate birdied the 18th hole to finish 2 strokes ahead of Tom Pernice at the Allianz Championship.  Pernice, who also won his first event as a Champions Tour member, just missed a 5-footer for birdie that would have forced Rocco to make his own putt. 
 
Rocco comes to Naples this week for the Ace Classic and will no doubt receive a lot of support here.  He owns a home in Talis Park and is also a member of the exclusive Calusa Pines Golf Cours.
 

The Ace Group Classic is February 12-17 at Twin Eagles.
