Description
Pre-tournament press conference with Justin Rose ahead of The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport. Championship play takes place from 16 to 19 July 2026.
Rose reflects on returning 28 years after finishing tied for fourth as an amateur at Royal Birkdale in 1998, when he holed out on the 18th and won the Silver Medal.
He discusses his ambition to win the Claret Jug, the challenge of remaining among golf's elite, changes to the course, equipment choices for links golf, spectator conduct and his decision to miss the Scottish Open. Rose also speaks about his career achievements, his approach to Ryder Cup selection and watching England face Argentina in their FIFA World Cup semi-final.
