Alexandre Nardy Rocha (born 21 November 1977) is a Brazilian professional golfer.
Rocha was born in São Paulo. He had a successful collegiate career in the United States, where he attended Mississippi State University,[1] [2] before turning professional in 2000. He won tournaments in South America and Canada before qualifying for the European Tour at the end of 2005. He did not win enough money during his rookie season to retain his playing status and returned to qualifying school where he was the joint winner alongside Carlos Rodiles.
Having lost his card on the European Tour again at the end of the 2009 season, Rocha qualified for the Asian Tour for 2010. In 2010, Rocha became the second Brazilian (after Jaime Gonzalez, who played on the PGA Tour up until 1982) to join the PGA Tour when he graduated from Qualifying School. Rocha finished 127th in the 2011 FedEx Cup standings, then lost his PGA Tour card after 2012. He played on the Web.com Tour in 2013 and 2014 before spending 2015 on PGA Tour Latinoamérica.
