England's Justin Rose says golf is witnessing the start of a new era with the rise of players such as Jordan Spieth and Jason Day

Hong Kong (AFP) - Justin Rose paid tribute to new world number one Jordan Spieth and US PGA Champion Jason Day on Wednesday, saying golf is witnessing the start of a new era.

The Englishman revealed he still couldn't quite believe that he did not add another major in 2015 to his 2013 US Open triumph, but vowed to win some more in the future.

Rose shot a combined 34 under par in this year's four majors -- the fourth-best aggregate to par in history -- and still saw himself pipped to the line by the record-breaking antics of 20-somethings Spieth and Day, who swept three of the year's biggest prizes.
