BMW Championship winner Justin Rose praises Mark Roe

Justin Rose has praised the influence that coach Mark Roe has had on his performance after winning the BMW Championship in Illinois yesterday.

South African-born Rose has been working with short-game guru Roe since April and has admitted that the Sky Sports commentator deserves some of the credit for his victory this weekend.

"Roey has given me a couple of simple keys and a simple understanding of doing, I guess, what I did as a kid again," said Rose.

"I think for some reason I got myself in a bit of a mess with my short game, I was way too open to the shot, squared up my shoulders and just....yeah, it's been a lot better for sure.

"And I think I proved it down the stretch today. I missed a couple of greens and I scrambled pretty nicely when I had to."

The 31-year-old has now won three US titles.
