So why is Justin Rose off the radar?

[alf174]

FedEx points 251 ranked 129th.

Finished top 25 3 times this season, 7 out of 13 cuts made.

World ranking 51st.

2008 wasn't much better either compared to 2007 when he was 6th in the world rankings.

Quite a fall from grace? Just playing average golf for the tour. He was on fire during 2007.


thoughts?

You want to know why he is no longer in focus on the media or why he is not playing as good as he did in 2007?

No, just starting a dialogue on why his name has been missing off the leader boards.

He's streaky. When he's hot, he's very, very hot. When he ain't, he ain't.
A T10 finish in the AT&T; today says he may be heading into another hot one.

[Acropo]

He's streaky. When he's hot, he's very, very hot. When he ain't, he ain't.

When he won the European OOM, he did it with just a few tournaments in the year.

He is 146th in GIR on tour.

Actually he tied for 16th but its his best finish this year.

[HSip]

Not to make excuses for him but I believe that he has suffered with a bad back in the past. If that's true - it's a tough game with that problem.

d'oh! wrng button hit - you're right, T16 it is.

Yeah, in the beginning of the '08 season I was predicting he'd finish his season no worse than 5th in the world. Boy was I wrong. Dunno, he's still young, things will probably turn around.
