Golf, 19:10, July 10, 2010 ,
English golfer Justin Rose will go into the Open at St Andrews full of confidence after winning twice on the PGA tour recently.
The 29-year-old was victorious at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio and the AT&T National in Pennsylvania and is hoping to continue his good form ahead of the Open.
He said: "Winning on the PGA Tour is a stepping stone to winning major championships.
"There doesn't get a much bigger arena unless it's a major.
"It is great practice. You get the feeling playing on the PGA Tour in big events that you're playing at the highest level with a sense of pressure and that really helps you going into major championships."
