Justin Rose feels confident ahead of Open Championship

English pro Justin Rose has claimed that he is hoping to continue his good form when he tees off at Royal Lytham for the Open Championship on Thursday.

The 31-year-old has been drawn alongside former world number one Tiger Woods and Spain's Sergio Garcia for the opening round this week.

"I feel good about everything," said Rose. "I had a good session with Sean [Foley] yesterday morning on the range. I felt I got into a really good mindset in France so I am hoping to carry the momentum of that as I felt pretty focused and in a good spot. If I can keep that chain of thought going it will suit me well."

Rose finished ninth in the French Open a fortnight ago.
