He went on to miss 21 consecutive cuts when he joined the paid ranks, before winning his first professional event in 2002. Rose, who was born in Johannesburg but brought up in Hampshire, burst onto the wider scene as a 17-year-old amateur when he finished in a tie for fourth in the 1998 Open at Royal Birkdale. "For it to all just work out for me, on such an emotional day, I couldn't help but look up to the heavens and think that my old dad Ken had something do do with it." "A lot of us come from great men and we have a responsibility to our children to show what a great man can be. "It wasn't lost on me that today was Father's Day," said Rose of his gesture when he was presented with the trophy on the 18th green. Mickelson, celebrating his 43rd birthday, needed to birdie the last to force an 18-hole play-off on Monday, but the four-time major champion could only make a bogey five. Rose, the world number five, looked up to the sky with tears in his eyes after he tapped in his final putt, and admitted later to thinking of his father and long-time mentor Ken, who died from leukaemia in 2002. Rose, also the first Englishman to win a major since Nick Faldo in 1996, fired a level-par 70 to end one over as overnight leader Mickelson carded 74.Īustralian Day took 71 as England's Luke Donald (75) collapsed to six over on the treacherous Merion course. The 32-year-old won by two shots from now six-time runner-up Phil Mickelson and Jason Day on a gripping final day.

Just as you were designed to do when you opened the gates back in 1912. So, keep battering the professionals this weekend Merion. Not ideal, but the surface drainage contours are a perfect marriage for this ultimate golf venue. That subsoil at Merion is typical PA red clay. I might reason it out as the physical property has natural gentle slopes that are both ideal for tricky fairways and lies, but more importantly, naturally directing excess surface water off of the playing areas. I found it interesting to note that every inch of Merion drains unbelievably well. That is a ton of soil gas purges or exchanges and must account for the rate of grass growth they are experiencing now, not just on the greens, but in fairways and roughs too. Matt said at least three times during the downpours on Friday and Saturday… I asked Matt how many times he thought the greens reached saturation point and completely flushed out? While at Merion for a few days I ran in to lots of great people in the turf industry and spent a little time with Matt Shaffer. This picture is taken well in to the approach where the laterals were extended out of the green and into a mainline some 150′ out in front of the greenpad and out in to the right sidehill which was very wet before the subsurface drainage system was installed.
