Justin Rose – Biography
Justin Rose announced himself to the golfing world when, as a 17 year old amateur he pitched in at the last hole in the 1998 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale G.C., a shot that claimed him 4th place. With that shot Justin captured the imagination of the British public and the rest of the golfing world.
In the 13 years following the dramatic scenes at Birkdale, Justin has proven himself as one of the World’s leading golfers, winning the European Tour Order of Merit in 2007 and reaching No.6 in the World in 2008. He was also seen by a global TV audience in the 2008 Ryder Cup performing as the best rookie of both teams.
In 2010, Justin recaptured his fantastic form and was billed as one of the World’s hottest golfer with two victories on the PGA Tour in the space of a 4 week period. His maiden victory in the US came at the famous Jack Nicklaus Memorial tournament and he was close to making it two wins in two events at the Travelers Championship. Following the disappointment of letting a final round lead slip from his grasp, Justin showed his depth in character to go on to secure his 2nd win in the US just a week later at the AT&T National, where again he went into the final round as the tournament leader, but this time made no mistakes in holding onto that lead. This exceptional run of events saw Justin climb back into the World’s Top 20 in 2010 and he was on the cusp of playing his way in to the 2010 Ryder Cup squad.
2011 has been another exceptional year for Justin with a further victory on the PGA Tour at the BMW Championship. He backed this up with ten top 15 finishes both on the European and PGA Tours, to include 3rd place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and 5th at the Transitions Championships. He rounded 2011 off by coming 2nd in the World Cup in China.
Off the course, Justin is mature beyond his years. He is intelligent, affable and has a great sense of humour. He handles the spotlight and media interest with consummate ease with his typical relaxed manner.
