UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington, June 17 (Reuters) - Winning the 2013 U.S. Open gave Justin Rose a massive confidence boost in his ability to handle pressure and he believes it is only a question of time before he claims a second major crown.
The English world number five has landed two more victories on the PGA Tour since his major breakthrough at Merion and heads into this week's U.S. Open at the links-style Chambers Bay with his game in sparkling order.
"I was very, very pleased and proud to win this one," Rose told reporters on Wednesday as he reflected on his two-stroke triumph at Merion.
