Justin Rose is currently playing at the BMW PGA with a serious ambition related to this tournament. The English golfer has had many great moments this season, and his performance in this tournament further showed how dominant a figure Rose is.
The 45-year-old golfer shot an impressive 66 to 11 under par heading into the weekend's DP World Tour main event. However, it is clear that the focus of most golfers is currently on the Ryder Cup, although everyone would like to win the trophy in tournaments such as this one.
In an interview with the media, the English golfer pointed out that he is still focused on the BMW PGA, aware that he has a good chance that he wants to take advantage of.

"It would mean a lot [to win the BMW PGA]," said Rose, as quoted by Golf Magic.
"I can't deny it, I can't hide from it.
Although this week, to be honest, I think with the Ryder Cup around the corner, there's sort of like -- yeah listen, I was straight into this tournament.
I said at the beginning of the week that if you get into contention this week, it becomes all about this week and this weekend will be all about this tournament.
If you're in the middle of the pack, you might start thinking about Bethpage and what-have-you.
But yeah, I've got a great weekend ahead of me. I mean, we've got more choppy weather coming in, so it's going to be a little bit of see what happens out there, to be honest with you, but I'm feeling comfortable."

Aggressive approach
The English golfer further emphasized that the key is to be aggressive given the demanding nature of this course.
If he continues with the same superiority in the coming days, there is no doubt that he can lift the trophy.
During this season, Rose has shown that he can compete with the best golfers, and many were surprised that even after all these years, Rose is still a dominant figure on the golf scene.
