Top-ranked England golfer Justin Rose got the engine warm for this week’s WGC  – Cadillac Championship in teaming with former Deutsche Bank CEO Seth Waugh to post a combined 63 and win today’s Seminole Pro-Member at the exclusive Donald Ross designed Seminole Club in Florida.

The duo, as reported by good friend Rex Hoggard, were out on the very last group of the day and with Rose picking up 10 birdies through 17 holes but then dropping a shot at the last for a two-stroke victory in the gross division over fellow England-born Luke Donald who partnered Eric Gleacher.
