Absolutely fantastic victory. So proud to be British watching that last night in a bar full of Yanks & Aussies, his composure and dignity was just awesome. Shoe in I hope for SPOTY 2013....

So far he has to be in the lead I guess.
I guess if we nail the Aussies in the Ashes Cook or another could come into it. The same with the Lions and one of them. Chris Froome if wins Le Tour.
Anyone else that's obvious?

Rose is NOT English, Born and bred in South Africa. Born but not bred in South Africa. Moved to England at age five so virtually all his schooling and certainly all of his golf prior to turning pro was in England. That's English enough for me. And given his surname, you'd imagine that there is plenty of English blood in his ancestry. I remember his 4th place in the British Open when he was 17(?) and he turned professional the next day. No one watching that day would have expected that he would be 33 before he won a major. Missing 21 "cuts" in succession in his early days as a pro would have sent many players into retirement from the pro game. Huge credit to him that he worked his way into the world's top ten slowly but surely, did well in the Ryder Cup and finally (probably ten years after he planned) he has a major and has risen to 3rd in the world. It would make a great film! Hopefully this is the first of a string of majors - he deserves it.

He's a cracking lad and was immense in the last Ryder Cup. Chuffed to bits for him.

He's bound to win one eventually, He's been playing long enough.
