Justin Rose may be an Englishman, but he’s found great success over the years at the U.S. Open. The 38-year old took home the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Course, and he has an excellent chance to add another American notch to his belt this weekend at Pebble Beach.
Rose is currently sitting in second place at 10-under par, just a single stroke behind Gary Woodland. The two tee off together at 5:30 p.m. EST on Sunday in the final round. Rose jumped out in front with a score of 65 on Thursday. He posted a 70 and a 68 on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
If he seizes the title this weekend, it will be his second major championship on the PGA Tour. Let’s take a look at his performance in majors, as well as his win total in all PGA Tour events.

Rose won the 2013 U.S. Open with a 1-over par performance through 72 holes. He beat out Jason Day and Phil Mickelson by two strokes to earn his $1.44 million prize.
He dedicated his title to his late father, who died from leukemia in 2002. The 2013 U.S. Open also finished on a Father’s Day, just like this year.
“Father’s Day was not lost on me today,” he said to the Telegraph. “You don’t have opportunities to really dedicate a win to someone you love. And today was about him and being Father’s Day.”
He’s come close to breaking through the last two seasons. Rose lost in a playoff to Sergio Garcia in the 2017 Masters after heading into extra time with a solid 9-under par. In 2018, he lost The Open Championship in Carnoustie to Francesco Molinari by two strokes, tying with Kevin Kisner, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele.
In addition, he has recorded 15 top-10 finishes at major championships, including a 4th-place tie in his debut at the 1998 Open Championship. Away from majors, he boasts an impressive 22 total victories, including 10 on the PGA Tour.

“The offseason was short and sharp,” Rose said at the time. “I didn’t know how I was going to come out. It’s awesome to play that well this week.”
That momentum has carried him to this Sunday, as he hopes to edge out a surging Woodland.
