Justin Rose just can’t stop pumping his fist

The best player for Europe at this Ryder Cup has been Justin Rose, and by a good margin. The Euro team is loaded with world class players, many of whom have dominated the USA for winning records, but I wrote earlier in the week that none was scarier for American prospects than Rose.

He’s been bombing in putts through all three sessions so far, and he’s especially amped up Saturday morning. He hit a huge putt to halve the eighth hole, and spent a good five seconds preening for the crowd and pumping them up on his way to the cup. Even when it’s his partner making the putt, Rose is the one doing the celebrating -- and the TV cameras can’t get enough of it. A brief montage of just some of Rose’s work Saturday morning:

He’s also not shy about giving high-fives out to the opposition, exchanging this with Bubba Watson after the two drained lengthy putts to halve the 5th hole of their match. The interaction with the caddie, however, was suuuper awkward.
