Justin Rose has insisted that he can be the man to stop Rory McIlroy's winning run ahead of the US PGA Championship.
McIlroy recorded wins at the Open Championship and the Bridgestone Invitational in his previous two starts, but Rose is confident of challenging the world number one at Valhalla.
"I feel like my form is great and I have every chance this week," the 2013 US Open champion told reporters. "Everyone would like to finish one ahead of Rory, and I think it is a great opportunity.
"I am certainly playing well enough to give it a run this week. Being under the radar is never a bad thing.
"I know how difficult it is to win three in a row. You are definitely worn down but he has been making it look easy, and I think this golf course is tailor-made for him. Every fairway widens out at 320 yards, it is super long, it is an iron player's golf course."
Rose will play alongside Louis Oosthuizen and Matt Kuchar on Thursday.
