Rose fights pain to stay in the game

JUSTIN ROSE is ready to play through the pain barrier at the 100th US PGA after a back injury stopped him playing a single practice round.

The world No.3 pulled out of last week’s WGCBridgestone Invitational.

And the Ryder Cup star has only walked around the Bellerive Country Club with wedges and a putter.

He said: “I’m managing it the best that I can. I felt something last week and knew it wouldn’t be a good idea to force it. It’s not a muscle injury, just a blip.

“Would I try if it wasn’t a Major? Possibly not.”
