GAINESVILLE, Va. — Most of the world's top players are skipping the Quicken Loans National. Justin Rose wouldn't miss it — even if he weren't the defending champion.
Rose won the event in 2010 at Aronimink and last year at Congressional. This year, the Quicken Loans National moves to Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, a course he's never seen. Given its place on the crowded PGA Tour schedule, a week off might be tempting — but not for Rose.
"It's one of my favorite tournaments on Tour. Got a couple of the best-looking trophies on Tour," Rose said.
