Justin Rose


Residence: Orlando, Florida
DOB: 30/07/1980 		Justin Rose has had a great start to the 2007 Season. He won his first European Tour title since the 2002 Dunhill Championships in the Australian Masters played at the Huntingdon Club in Melbourne in November 2006 (officially a 2007 season tournament), tied 5th in the Masters at Augusta National and made it to the play-off in the prestigious BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in May where he lost in a sudden death play-off when Anders Hansen drained a 25-foot birdie putt to take the title. Justin Rose was actually born in Johannesburg but moved to England at the age of five. He had a strong amateur career and played in the Walker Cup team – but really hit the headlines at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in 1998 when, still as an amateur, he holed out at the 72nd hole to finish in an incredible 4th position. As an amateur, he couldn’t pocket the prize money, alas, but at least ended up with the prestigious bronze medal for the lowest amateur score. He was inspired to take up the game by his father who died after a two year battle with Leukaemia. In 2002, the Ken Rose Foundation was set up to raise funds for leukaemia sufferers – Justin’s headcovers carry the foundation’s logo. More information about the foundation can be found at Justin’s own website, www.justinrose.com.

 2007  BMW PGA Championship

Between 24th and 27th May 2007, the BMW PGA Championship was played out on a rain-lashed West Course at Wentworth in Surrey. Traditionally, the PGA attracts one of the strongest fields on the European Tour and this time was no exception with Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Michael Campbell and others all making the trip across the pond. It was not, however, one of the better known superstars who walked off with the trophy and 725,000 Euro first prize, but Anders Hansen from Denmark who holed a 25 foot birdie putt on the first sudden-death play-off hole against England’s Justin Rose. This was only Hansen’s second victory on Tour – bizarrely the only other win was the same tournament – then called the Volvo PGA – five years earlier in 2002.

In Justin Rose's bag...
Here are Justin's clubs snapped at the 2007 BMW at Wentworth where he lost to Anders Hanson in the sudden death play-off. (but still picked up nearly 500,000 euros for second place): TaylorMade rac MB Forged irons, Cleveland CG10 n56 degree sand wedge, and Titleist Vokey 47 and 60 degree Tour Satin wedges. According to Justin's own website, the headcovers hide a TaylorMade r7 425 driver and r7 Ti Tp 13 degree fairway wood. He apparently uses a Guerin Rife putter - a manufacturer we hear little of in Europe.
