:: justin's 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 years following the dramatic scenes at Birkdale, Justin has developed his immense natural talent into one of the most consistent all round games in world golf.
He is one of the leading European players and was the winner of the “European Tour Order of Merit” in 2007. He was seen by a Global TV audience in the 2008 Ryder Cup performing as the best rookie of both teams. Only three years later in 2010, Justin had 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 very close to making it two wins in two events at the Travelers Championship. Justin went on to secure his 2nd win in the US just a week later at the AT&T National.
