7th highest ranking player as of 6th april 08 and highest ranking uk player


good on him as i remember he had to drop out of the pga and take the 2nd string tour to win a tour card.

Rose has turned into a very good player, but he plays almost exclusively on the US Tour, so we hear little of him over here. Tony Jacklin did the same, but because he won 2 majors first, he was well known over here.

Ironically, Jacklin couldn't cut the mustard once he went to the US even though he bagged the Open and US Open (a notoriously difficult one to win for foreigners), whereas Rose has blossomed but has remained in anonymity as he has yet to claim one of the big four.

He tends to start well in the Masters then realises how good he is doing and chokes.

Would like to see him do better and Nick Doherty.

He has the ability alright, maybe needs a different attitude to the game though.

Brandt Snedeker has a great approach to the game, I was watching him last night, missed a putt and had a massive smile at how close it came.

Refreshing to see this approach, when on the flipside is a certain Mr Woods who is so focused on his game that he doesnt let any of his personality through.

Still, roll on Valhalla!

Rose is class. Has been since he was a kid. I've had the pleasure of watching him practice up close and can say he stripes it!

He's obviously got the game but his mental approach is whats letting him down. He will win a major soon though and i think he'll be the first brit to do it out of the current crop of players

fitzscoob

Sounds like someone willing to put their money where their mouth is!

Out of all the brits, I'd have to say Casey would be my first bet (as much as I dont want it to be the case).


I'd like to see more from Simon Khan this year too, and David Howell.

Gav

Justin Rose or Luke Donald will be our first major winner

It'll be in the states and i fancy Donald for the US Open, he hit's it straight and can chip and putt with the best of them

Pretty good for English golf at the moment, Casey, Rose, Donald, Poulter, Westwood all had decent Masters

wrxjay03

just not as good as the americans

pauld37

Or a South African
