Justin Rose is an English (people)|English
professional golfer. He was born in Johannesburg
South Africa on 30 July 1980 and moved to the
United Kingdom at the age of five.

Justin Rose burst to prominence at The Open
Championship in 1998 when he finished fourth as a
seventeen year old amateur. He turned professional
the following week, but initially struggled badly,
missing the cut in most of the events he played in
the following twelve months.

Justin Rose's career soon began to take off
however, and he became established on the PGA
European Tour. He won his first professional
event, the Dunhill Championship in South Africa,
in 2002, and followed this up with three further
victories in that year. In 2003, he reached number
33 in the World Golf Rankings. In 2004, he played
mainly in America on the PGA Tour, while also
maintaining his membership of the PGA European
Tour. He did not have a good year, and slipped out
of the top 50 in the world rankings. His ranking
continued to fall in early 2005, and in March he
announced that he was quitting the European Tour
and concentrating on playing in the U.S. This had
no apparent effect on his poor form, and by the
middle of the year he had fallen out of the World
Top 100. In August of that year he made an about
face by announcing his intention to return to the
European Tour. Ironically later the same week he
had his best result of the year, leading the Buick
Championship after three rounds before slipping to
a third place finish.
