having a chance. 10-6 down, but the comeback was on.

:01:35.:01:40.

A quiet veteran stood up to be counted. The world number one was

:01:41.:01:50.

late but not too late. Of course the Tanners man delivered. Where they

way to reach the fairway, but he just about manages it.

Justin Rose has become a beautiful player. Look at that swing. Perfect
