Hall of Fame
Rocco Mediate - Florida Southern College, Golf
A 17-year veteran of the PGA Tour, Rocco Mediate remains one of the most prolific golfers to play for one of the nation’s most respected collegiate golf programs. Originally from Greensburg, Pennsylvania, Mediate played two seasons at Florida Southern prior to his graduation in 1984. A two-time first team All-American in 1983 and 1984, Mediate led the Moccasins in stroke average both years, and left Southern with a 73.48 average, which was then a school record. As a senior, Mediate compiled a truly spectacular season, posting six top-five and nine top-10 finishes. During his final campaign at Florida Southern, he posted 22 rounds of par or under-par, including 10 straight sub-par rounds. He earned medalist honors at the prestigious Florida Intercollegiates, firing a then-school record three-round score of 208. Those numbers earned Mediate runner-up honors for 1984 NCAA Division II Player of the Year accolades. Mediate was recognized last year as a member of the SSC Silver Anniversary Team in men’s golf. Currently ranked 16th in the world rankings, Mediate has six tournament victories under his belt as a professional.
