Justin Rose Makes Impressive Start to The Open: “I Felt Calm and Clear”Justin Rose Makes Impressive Start to The Open: “I Felt Calm and Clear” Justin Rose got off to a strong start at The Open Championship, shooting a three-under-par 67 in the first round at Royal St George’s. The Englishman, who won the tournament in 2013, sits two shots behind early leader Louis Oosthuizen. Rose made a solid start to his round, pars the first four holes before making a birdie on the par-five fifth. He dropped a shot on the seventh but bounced back with another birdie on the eighth. The back nine was more of a struggle for Rose, as he made two bogeys and just one birdie. However, he finished the round strongly with a birdie on the 18th to move into a tie for third place. After his round, Rose said he was pleased with his performance, particularly his mental state. “I felt calm and clear today,” he said. “I was able to focus on my shots and not get too worked up about the occasion. That’s important in a major championship like this.” Rose will be hoping to continue his good form in the second round and mount a challenge for the Claret Jug. He is one of the favorites to win the tournament, and his performance on Thursday suggests that he is in good shape to do so.
