An Englishman in the name of Justin Rose has won an American golf tournament. Rose who is 29 years old has took the shot in round of 66 in the Memorial Tournament that was held in Muirfield Village Golf Club.
This young golfer beat his close competitor Rickie Fowler, an American with just three strokes. Rose finished the game with four strokes ahead that overtook Fowler in the 18-under-par 270. Rose was said to rally in ninth hole where he did three straight birdie. He also did a 22-foot par save at the 10th round. Fowler who has been leading in the first round lost hold in the 17th hole when his shot went to the water causing a double bogey.
Rose has been playing for the past few years in PGA tour event and seized the moment in this battle. His record showed 6 international victories including the 2007 European Order of Merit. He said that getting things done in this game was pretty easy. Fowler who is always finished second in the last 19 tours was bothered by the winds. This is so surprising for someone who spent years practicing in Oklahoma. The shot that cost him the tournament was in the 12th hole where he used an iron shot. He admitted that he made some bad swings in the round.
