Golf-Rose 'excited' for title defence at new venue

July 29 (Reuters) - Justin Rose has produced sparkling form over the past three months after a slow start to the PGA Tour season and says he is "excited" about his title defence at this week's Quicken Loans National in Gainesville, Virginia.

World number seven Rose clinched last year's tournament after a playoff at Congressional Country Club in Maryland, and knows he faces a very different test at a new venue over the next four days at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

"So excited to be here," the 34-year-old Englishman told reporters on Wednesday before heading off to play the course in the pro-am competition.
