Justin Rose looks to successfully defend a title for the first time in his professional career in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, an event where he has an impressive recent record. Former US Open champion Rose, who has not played since finishing tied for 10th in the Masters, has not been outside the top 15 on his last four outings at TPC Louisiana.Since missing the cut in 2011, the 35-year-old Ryder Cup star has finished 10th, 15th, eighth before his one-shot win last year, with his last 16 rounds all at par or better.
