Justin Rose fires hole-out eagle during opening round in Turkey
Thursday 1 November 2018 11:14, UK
Justin Rose made the perfect start to his Turkish Airlines Open title defence with a hole-out eagle during his opening round in Antalya.
Rose, looking to secure back-to-back titles in an event for the first time in his career, started with three consecutive pars before producing a moment of brilliance at the par-four fourth.
The Englishman, who can return to world No 1 with a victory this week at Regnum Carya Golf Resort, just missed the right side of the fairway off the fourth tee and saw his ball finish in the semi-rough.
Rose then took time to clear dirt from the grooves of his iron before firing the perfect approach with his second shot, watching it stop 10 feet from the pin and roll into the cup for an eagle-two.
