Ryder Cup hero Justin Rose would love to get a fourth chance at helping his continent emerge victorious.

Another ultra-consistent player, Rose has notched a grand total of six top 15s since the qualifying period began, including a narrow victory at the UBS Hong Kong Open. That record is representative of the Englishman’s entire year; in 2015, Rose notched 11 top 10s and 17 top 20s, refusing to show any signs of fading despite crossing over to the wrong side of 35 back in July.

Over the years, Rose has been simply excellent in the Ryder Cup, notching at least three points in each of his three appearances (and who can forget his incredible putt in singles against Phil Mickelson back in 2012?) Count on him making the trip to Hazeltine.
