championship , last year the WGO Cadillac championship and now , of course , he is the US Open champion , the first Englishman to do so since Tony Jacklin back in 1970 . And his first thoughts were for his late father . “ I did it for him , we did it together ,” he said .
He is coached by Sean Foley , the man who is attempting to restore Tiger Woods to the golfer he once was and longs to be again . While Woods may remain a work in progress , despite his four wins this year , Rose is very much the finished article . His swing is to die for .
It helps that he has a happy home life . Rose , now 32 , is married to Kate and they have two young children , Leo and Charlotte . He is happily settled in Florida and is playing the best golf of his life .
What you may not remember is that when The Open was last played at Muirfield , he finished just five shots behind the winner , Ernie Els .
And there is something else you should consider about Justin Rose if you are looking for somebody to back – he is a golfer who tends to put together runs of four , five or six tournaments in which he plays really well .
He maintained his form the week after the US Open and then decided to take a short break .
It means that when he arrives at Muirfield , he will feel fresh and he will know that he is now good enough to win major tournaments .
It is hard to belief that his tied fourth at Birkdale remains his best finish at The Open , and this would be a good time to improve on that record . Rose is a good bet for Muirfield , especially if you are looking for an each-way flutter .
