I saw him at a tournament recently. I wished him luck and he came up and shook my hand. A true gentleman and a fantastic golfer. Very happy for him.
Justin Rose just seems totally dialled in, almost on autopilot, but still planning every single shot. Wonderful to watch today.
I was 16 when I met him in South Africa… in 1990”.s…. I shot 75 and he shot 69 to qualify for South African open. I have been a fan and following him since.
He speaks very well..he can become an excellent coach, ryder cup captain and commentator if he decides to stop playing…i like him..
2026 masters champion.
That was a 4 round masterpiece. He was in the zone for all 72 holes. Incredible to watch. Well done Justin👌 I'd love to see him win The Masters…..
My fav player. 💪
Be proud Rosie!. I picture you a "Masters Champion"!
Rosie, I've been closely watching golf for 40 years. The way you dominated this week at age 45….is beyond impressive!! I like you for Augusta!
Consummate professional
It is always very enjoyable to listen to Justin. Congratulations with a great win 😊
Class Act as always!!!
I like him. Glad he's still in the picture.
Get that Green Jacket Mr. Rose! You deserve it. ❤
Love it when a veteran kicks butt!!❤
Justin Rose is the man.
Told Liv golf no, said he wanted to earn his money !
Brother put on a clinic at Torrey these past 4 days genuinely one of the most impressive wins ive seen in a while especially at Torrey.
He was hitting it farther than his much younger partners, too!
Hope he wins a major this year. Only one for his awesome career seems too little
He just articulates and answers the questions so well, not offending anybody but getting the point across he’s one of the best guys in the sport and I hope he has many more years of success on the PGA Tour and during major seasons.masters win incoming
he looks big. great fitness routine.
Legend being written. Deserves the HOF.
He's a complete professional on and off the course. His off course preparation with his well being truck is smart. Recovery as you age is critical and he gets that. I don't think he'll ever lose his passion to learn and get better
Without a doubt the classiest golfer on the PGA tour. You love to see it.
Congrats Justin……brilliant win.
Quintessential Englishman
Well done Rosie.
He’s a Gentleman and took no Shit from the Yanks at the Ryder Cup like Tommy! Very happy for him and his family! 👍⛳️🏆

A great advert for golf, and for English manners and decency
Great result from Rose what a class act but he's 45 not 75 there are guys in their 40s driving F1 cars yet the press act like he's in a wheel chair, plenty of gas left in his tank and as for the inane question around why he missed the cut last week and then dominated this week, that's golf.
Pure class team Rosie ❤
He is the gentleman of golf ❤
Met him at Waterloo Station just after coming second to Rory.
Big hugs and congratulations!
Wow Justin great win !
First ever golf i watched was when you were amateur leading open ! Your a credit to golf and a very humble great man ! ❤
Top guy 🎉🎉
Knight him, deserves it
Always loved Justin as a player, he’s had a brilliant career and I hope he wins the Masters this year after last seasons close call!🔥👍
Justin is very inspirational, age is no barrier to him, he keeps himself in great shape, is a brilliant golfer, and handles himself really well in the media. Im a big fan!!
I've always liked Justin rose, he's a class act, and I was really glad I was able to see him win at Torrey pines and set a record as well. I hope I get a chance to see this tournament again, and I'll be rooting for Justin Rose.
Rosie. ❤❤❤
