27 year old Justin Rose was beaten at last years PGA Championship by Anders Hansen in an exciting play-off and so is keen to win this years’ PGA Championship that starts at Wentworth today.
Justin Rose won the European Order of Merit last year, and suggested that it was last year’s PGA Championship that was used as aspringboard to his success.
Rose was joint leader with Trevor Immelman after the first round of the US Masters this year but failed to capitalise on his good start.
This is Justin Rose’s first tournament in the UK this year and it sounds like he is revving himself up for Wentworth.
Rose is paired with last year’s US Open champion Angel Cabrera and 1994 champion Jose Maria Olazabal.

Fantastic achievement for Rose to win the Order of Merit last year. This season i’m sure his aim is to push on and win some really big tournaments. Obviously the majors are the real biggies, and he’s consistently competing well in those. But there are other big tourmaments, and after finishing 2nd here last year, a win would be a great springboard with The US upon and the Open coming up.
