QUICK PEEK
Justin Rose beats Brooks Koepka in the Fort Wort Invitational. The win shot him up to no. 3 in the world and no. 2 in the FedEx Cup. He used his new technique by tucking his shirt under his arm to do it.
I'VE GOT SOME TIME
Justin Rose pulled out a win at the Fort Worth Invitational. He shot a final score of 64 on Sunday going in with a four-shot lead.
Although the lead sound promising, Brooks Koepka followed very close. Koepka put the pressure on Rose, but couldn't ever close the deal.
Anyone who watched the tournament on television may have notice Rose's shirt being tucked up underneath his arm. This is a technique used for 2 reasons.
1. It keeps the triangle in a swing. The triangle is the shape your arms make with club at address and takeaway. The flat sides would be you arms and chest. The points would be every connecting angle. The triangle is the lifeline of a golf swing. Every pro has it.
2. It keeps the same triangle in the putting stroke. There are plenty of ways to put a golf ball. The most common however is the pendulum theory. You make the triangle and pivot around your shoulders. Him tucking his shirt underneath his arm kept him for using his hands in the stroke. This lowered the chances of a push or a pull.
This win did wonders for Rose. It just shot him up to no. 3 in the world! He jumped Jordan Spieth and John Rahm. However, Rose is still under Justin Thomas at no.1 and Dustin Johnson at no.2.
This win also shot Rose up to no. 2 in the FedEx Cup. Easy to say this couldn't have helped his career more.
