Justin Rose, who ended a four-year winless drought on Monday with his three-shot victory at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, has set his sights on making a push for Europe’s Ryder Cup team for this year’s event in Rome.
“I haven’t even entertained what the Ryder Cup looks like for me, other than I want to be there,” former World No. 1 Rose said.
“What was really important to me was getting off to a good start on the PGA Tour so I wasn’t under pressure later in the season, so I could turn my attentions to the Ryder Cup and the European Tour.”
The 2013 US Open champion Rose carded a final-round 66 to end the week on 18-under par, recording a three-shot victory after the final round was suspended on Sunday because of darkness.
The 42-year-old Englishman finished ahead of Americans Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu to lift his first trophy since the Farmers Insurance Open in 2019 and 11th on the PGA Tour.
Rose, who has a 13-8-2 record against the United States in the Ryder Cup, missed out on selection for Europe’s team in 2021 when they were thrashed 19-9 at Whistling Straits and said he hopes to be part of Luke Donald’s line-up for the September 25th-October 1st tournament.
