(Carlsbad, Calif.) – In his final preparation before The Open Championship, TaylorMade-adidas Golf and Ashworth Golf Tour staffer Justin Rose (@JustinRose99) had all facets of his game under control, winning the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen over a strong contingent of global challengers.

What You Need to Know:
· Rose kept TaylorMade’s new UDI (Ultimate Driving Iron) in the bag, having first put it into play prior to his victory at Congressional
· Rose’s previous best finish at the Scottish Open was 5th in 2002
· The win is Rose’s 7th European Tour victory and moves to 3rd in OWGR

For his game off the tee, the 33-year-old Rose switched from the R1 driver to the SLDR at the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and has kept it in the bag ever since, including during his playoff victory at the Quicken Loans National in June. The SLDR is engineered with a remarkable low and forward center of gravity (CG) placement which results in dramatically reduced spin rates.

Rose again played TaylorMade’s new Ultimate Driving Iron, designed by company engineers for more precision off the tee than traditional fairway woods and more distance than long irons. In addition to Rose, the TaylorMade Tour staff is expecting up to a dozen UDIs will be put into play at the Open Championship this week. In addition to his UDI, Rose again played the Tour Preferred MB irons, which he first added to his bag at the Northern Trust Open.

Complementing his bag full of TaylorMade clubs, Rose wore adidas Golf’s new adicross gripmore footwear, which he first put into play at the WGC-Cadillac Championship and has worn since. An evolution in golf footwear, gripmore technology is an innovation in golf footwear cleat design that combines the performance benefits of spiked and spikeless footwear into one revolutionary technology. Also an Ashworth Golf Tour staffer since 2012, Rose wore Ashworth Golf apparel throughout the tournament.
