Rose eyes 2010 Ryder Cup spot

12 April 2012

The Ryder Cup may only have ended two weeks ago, but Justin Rose has already turned his mind to regaining the trophy in Wales in 2010.

Rose was one of Europe's top performers in Valhalla, securing three points out of four on his debut - claiming two alongside fellow Englishman Ian Poulter and then comprehensively beating world number two Phil Mickelson in the singles.

"It's raised my interest even further, especially now having the ability to play in front of a home crowd, a partisan crowd. I think it would be a fantastic experience," said the 28-year-old.

"Speaking to a lot of players who have played Ryder Cups in the past, they say once you've played one Ryder Cup you never want to miss another one.

"I will certainly be trying my hardest from September next year to really start putting the points on the board and trying to secure my spot on the team as soon as possible.

"For me personally there were a lot of positives I could take from it as an individual, but in some ways it's a hollow victory when you play well yourself and the team doesn't win.

"I changed my schedule significantly to make the Ryder Cup and made a lot of sacrifices for it and it was disappointing that we didn't win, but I think the sacrifices were worthwhile because it was an amazing experience and a great, great atmosphere to play in."
