Great for Justin Rose to finally get his 1st US PGA Tour win

His 1st win in 3 years anywhere as well, he looked 1st class this week and his game was on big style finishing with a cool 66, even JN was applauding him as he walked onto the 18th Green.

Was kinda gunning for Rickie Fowler but he made a bad swing and ended up in the water on 12, which did not help after the bogey on 10, his time will come though and soon.

Why wouldn't he?

Justin played solid golf all Sunday, not carding a single bogey. He had some long putts and tricky chips that he got close for an up and down.

I know what your saying and I didn't mean it in that way, of course he would applaud the winner but he seemed to be doing it in a way that said "you played damn well son" just the way I saw it

Nice to see Justin win on the US Tour... as much as he has won worldwide, media doesn't seem to confirm a player until they have won on US soil.

I didn't agree with him turning pro after the '98 Open, but after all his documented struggles, it's nice to see he has come full circle and playing really well.

Cheers, Allan

The announcers said he works with Sean Foley. I don't see many S&T; elements in his swing, perhaps in the impact area and a little afterwards. Nice looking swing though. Like to watch this one the most out of all the English players.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Rose played about as clean of a round as you can play in the final round and he deserved to win. Folwer proves that talent doesnt always win golf tournaments. He clearly has not figured out how to win on the pro level, yet. But with the way he putts, he'll figure it out soon, though.

It took Justin 10 years to win, Rickie is still in his first. Playing a sunday afternoon is not like a Thursday, he will come around.

Well remember Foley doesn't teach Stack and Tilt, he likes to see the swing stay centered on the backswing and then move laterally on the down swing, similar to S&T; but different

LOL.

One more thing. How does Rose win the Memorial and not quality for the US Open? This is a rhetorical question.

LOL.

I know that is a rhetorical question but....

He is 33rd in the WR so should qualify as the top 50 WR do. However there must be a fixed date for the qualification, like a closign date, for example "on such a date the top 50 WR are this" and they qualify? Otherwise he would be in wouldn't he?

The cutoff date for 2010 world ranking and PGA Tour Money List standings was May 24. If he was entered in St Jude this weekend he could have gotten in the US Open by winning that too, but he is not playing. There is a qualifying category for "Any multiple winner of PGA Tour co-sponsored events whose victories are considered official from June 21, 2009 through June 13, 2010." So any player who has one win in that time frame, and is not already qualified, still has a shot to get in. The USGA will hold a spot in case that happens. If it doesn't then the spot will go to the overall 1st alternate.

Easy to pull for Rose as he is just a good guy. Fowler seems that way too. I can see Fowler breaking through this year.

Didn't watch the last round so during period breaks in the hockey game last nite I blew thru it...I noticed only once Faldo mentioned that they were playing "lift, clean and cheat". It seemed it was almost an accident that the camera caught a guy cleaning his ball. Did anyone notice? Like I said I watched it really fast (and a few beers) so maybe my conspiracy theory is off base.

Good win for Rose. I was at this tournament last year. Murifield is something else.. what a great course. Ran into Jack up close and personal as well when he was driving a golf cart out of his house in the middle of the course. Tiger also put on a clinic last year as well. Best golf I have ever seen

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
