Evidence is beginning to accumulate to suggest that Justin Rose might well be the next power player in professional golf.

With all due respect to Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods (at this point) and superstar-in-waiting Jordan Spieth, Rose made another big statement with his victory in the Quicken Loans National last weekend at Congressional Country Club.

Until he won the U.S. Open last year, he was on a Mickelson-like winless streak of 38 straight major championships.
