Justin's Major challenge: Is this the year golf's English Rose will really bloom?
Despite a disappointing showing at the Masters, the in-form Rose is the best British bet to get on the leaderboard of a Major. With his talent, we should stop our bunker mentality.

There has been no British winner of one of golf’s four Major championships since 1999, when Paul Lawrie sensationally pipped Jean van de Velde at Carnoustie.
In the years that have followed, Lawrie's career has dipped and he has not made the cut for a Major since 2005, when he tied for 52nd in the Open Championship. British golf has now been given a new wave of potential heroes, but who can raise their game to become a Major winner?
For me, it has to be Englishman Justin Rose. Despite being born in Johannesburg, Rose moved to England aged five and now calls it his home, representing Great Britain and Ireland in the Seve Trophy and England in the World Cup.
Having burst onto the golfing scene as an amateur in the Open Championship of 1998 when he finished tied fourth, his best Major finish.
