context_page_description: Justin Peter Rose, MBE is an English professional golfer who plays most of his golf on the PGA Tour, while keeping his membership on the European Tour. He won his first major championship at the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club, becoming the first English player to win a major since Nick Faldo in 1996 and the first to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Rose won gold at the men's individual tournament. With that victory, Rose joined Hall of Fame members Gary Player, David Graham, Hale Irwin and Bernhard Langer as one of only five golfers to win official tournaments on all six continents on which golf is played. Rose has also twice been runner-up at the Masters Tournament, in 2015 and 2017.
  He first came to prominence when he pre-qualified as an amateur for the 1998 Open Championship. There, he holed a dramatic shot from the rough at the final hole to finish in a tie for fourth place. He won the 2007 Order of Merit on the European Tour and was ranked in the World top ten between November 2007 and July 2008.
context_section_description: In April 2017, Rose shot opening rounds of 71-72 at the Masters to enter the weekend as one of only a handful of players under par. In the third round, he fired a five-under round of 67 to co-lead through 54 holes with Sergio García. His round consisted of seven birdies, which resulted in a 31 on the back nine to move into contention for his second major championship. Rose lost to García in a sudden-death playoff.
  In October, Rose won his second World Golf Championship event, taking the WGC-HSBC Champions by two strokes. He was tied for fourth place, eight strokes behind leader Dustin Johnson after the third round. Rose shot 67 to Johnson's 77 in the final round to win by two strokes.
  In November 2017, Rose won the Turkish Airlines Open, a Rolex Series event.
  In December 2017, Rose won the Indonesian Masters, an Asian Tour event. With this win he became the third golfer, after Lee Westwood (2000) and Ernie Els (2005), to win events on all six of the International Federation of PGA Tours.
  In December 2017, Rose was officially unveiled as the host of the 2018 British Masters, following on from Ian Poulter, Luke Donald, and Lee Westwood. He opted to take the event to Walton Heath.
