8. JUSTIN ROSE

WORLD RANK 21st

None of the rising
stars is more ready
to break out than Justin. He
hasn't won yet in the U.S.,
but put a major championship
on his résumé and all of
a sudden you'd realize that,
wow, he's had a good career.
Justin has five wins on three
tours... How ready is he?
He was in the hunt on the
weekend at the first two
majors this year, tying for
fi fth at the Masters and
10th at Oakmont. Plus, he's fi fth in scoring average on the
PGA Tour, and that requires consistently good play. He
was runner-up at the European PGA and has fi ve top 10s
in the U.S. He's had a lot of 36- and 54-hole leads in the
U.S. without closing the deal, but he has gained a ton of
experience... Justin's driver gets him in trouble at times,
but he's a terrifi c putter, and putting wins majors.

LAST SHOT Justin is poised to become the best
English golfer since Nick Faldo.
