April 26 (Reuters) - Justin Rose said he had benefited from the ultra-positive approach of National Basketball Association point guard Stephen Curry on the way to victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Sunday.
Englishman Rose clinched his seventh PGA Tour title by one shot with a closing six-under-par 66 at the TPC Louisiana after he and his caddie, Mark 'Fooch' Fulcher, had been inspired earlier in the week by Curry's brilliant three-point shooting for the Golden State Warriors.
"Yesterday, I felt like I had gone cold in my round," world number nine Rose told CBS Sports after posting a winning total of 22-under 266 in the weather-disrupted event on the outskirts of New Orleans.
