They did play a huge part in delivering the Ryder Cup.

Indeed, but it'd be nice to see them achieve much more in terms of individual success too.

[Alex Rover]

Congratulations to Justin Rose - one of the so-called "golden generation" of English golfers who has finally delivered.

Now we need the likes of Donald, Fisher, Poulter and especially Westwood to do the same.

I wouldn't quite put Fisher in that bracket but would include Paul Casey (although he's really struggling at the moment).

Great climax to The Masters. Rose and Garcia -8, Fowler - 5

Just starting the back 9, love the majors.

[wolfie]

Sergio eagles the 15th, rose birdies it, 3 holes left, all level

[wolfie]

Rose birdies the 16th, Sergio has a par. Rose one up, 2 left to play. This is great to watch.

[JonnyP]

It's great to watch 

[JonnyP]

Would love to see Sergio finally win a major

[wolfie]

It's one of those times where I'm not sure who I want to win till I find myself doing a little fist pump when someone holes out.

In this case I'm up for Rose but would also love to see Sergio win his first major too.

[JonnyP]

Down to the last, both level, oh the excitement 

[JonnyP]

What a drive Garcia

[JonnyP]

Followed by rose

[JonnyP]

Unbelievable stuff 

[wolfie]

Unbelievable how 72 holes come down to this

[JonnyP]

Come on Sergio 

[JonnyP]

Number 73 now haha

[wolfie]

Thought Rose was nailed on for that putt on the 18th.

Wonder if the fact that Rose has already won a major (and the olympics) might come into play.

[JonnyP]

Yeah Garcia kinda bottled that putt if I'm honest 

[wolfie]

Lucky break for Rose

[JonnyP]

Yeah still a tough shot off the pines, Garcia's drive have been monsters all day a couple of loose ones but most have screened down the fairway 

[wolfie]

Rose needs to get up and down from here, looking like Sergio's to lose...

[JonnyP]

Yeah if Rose doesn't sink this it's over

[wolfie]

I think Rose's tee shot off the 1st play-off hole will keep him awake at nights for a few weeks

[wolfie]

Well done sergio, that was brilliant..

[JonnyP]

Yeah great display and delighted to see the passion come out of him at the end long time in the waiting 

[matt83]

Was routing for rose being the Englishman but can't really begrudge Garcia the win after 22 top 10 finishes in previous majors without a win.
