Rose currently sits just outside the automatic top six qualification places for this year’s European Ryder Cup team.

The already qualified Rory McIlroy leads the way, also joined in the top six by Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre, Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka.

North Hants Golf Club’s Rose sits ninth in the rankings, just below Rasmus Hojgaard and Ludvig Aberg on 886.84 points.

He says he is confident of joining captain Luke Donald and the team over in New York this September.

“The Open Championship is definitely front and centre right now,” Rose said.

“But pretty much straight after that it is about trending towards the Ryder Cup, it’s one that we’ve been talking about for four to five years now given the magnitude of it.

“I’m definitely confident of having the opportunity to play but I’d like to show Luke some form over the next few months, this is the most important time to show the captain that you’re playing well.

“Making the team is not the goal. It’s about contributing to the team, it’s about getting my game as sharp as I can and playing my best golf come September.”

Back in 2023 Rose was part of the squad that beat Team USA as the Europeans dramatically regained the trophy in Rome.

This year’s competition will take place at Bethpage Black Golf Course in Farmingdale, New York.

“Competing in New York itself is going to be huge,” Rose added.

“It’ll be a massive challenge for team Europe and it’s one the team is relishing because we’re going to be facing a really hostile environment that will challenge us.

“If we can stick together as a team then we will have a great opportunity.”
