>Despite his ranking, Rocco is certainly no Ben Curtis or Todd Hamilton in terms of name recognition. The ranking is more a reflection of his health rather than his ability to play golf. Through the years he's been one of those guys you would never pick as a favorite, but when his name is on the leader board nobody should ever be surprised. I think this should be true of the majors as well as regular tour events.

I hope so. He sure gave Tiger run for his money.
Rocco certainly has way more personality than those you mentioned.
