11, something he had managed to avoid on the previous 274 holes. On 10, Rose left his approach 35 feet below the hole,
having to negotiate a dangerous ridge. He did but left his first putt seven feet short of the hole and three-putted for a bogey. Another ridge got him on No. 11, when he left his approach 45 feet below the hole, blew his first putt 10 feet past, and missed the come-backer. If that wasn’t shock enough to his system, you can
add to the mix the fact that Moore one-putted his last eight greens to fire a 65, the best round of the day. To his credit, however, Rose hung tough. He made a
great two-putt on No. 17 and then made a textbook par on the home hole for the victory.
ROSE FOCUSED ON HIS GAME PLAN While Moore was burning up Aronimink, Rose stayed true to his game plan. “I knew level par would get the job done today,” said
Rose. “Every two-putt felt like hard work coming in, I’ve got to tell you. It was good fun. I felt very much in control of my emotions, and it’s been a long week. But I’m very glad we’ve got to this point with a win.” For his part, Moore was pleased with his performance, even if he did come up just short. Even though he began the final round six-strokes off the lead, the former U.S. Amateur, U.S. Public Links and NCAA champion, was confident that the demanding course conditions played to his strengths. “Justin played really good, solid golf today,” said Moore,
whose finish earned him a spot in the British Open. “He won the golf tournament. I did everything I could to make him think about it, and he played better at the end.” ■

The venerable Aronimink Golf Club, located in the Philadelphia suburb of Newtown Square, will again host the AT&T National as the tournament’s usual home, Congressional Country Club just outside Washington D.C., prepares for the 2011 U.S. Open.
Aronimink has a rich championship history. It hosted the 1962 PGA Championship, won by Gary Player, and the 2003 Senior PGA Championship won by John Jacobs. It also was the site of the 1977 U.S. Amateur (John Fought) and the 1997 U.S. Junior Amateur (Jason Allred). Jay Sigel, the greatest American amateur of his era and now a member of the Champions Tour, is a long-time member there and has been the club champion numerous times.
Aronimink Golf Club was founded in 1896 but moved twice before settling in its present location. The Donald Ross design opened in 1926. It has been redesigned several times over the years, most notably by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1986. In 2000 and 2001, it was restored to the original Donald Ross design.
In 1948, shortly before his death, Ross took a final tour of the course. When he finished he said: “I intended to make this my masterpiece, but not until today did I realize that I built it better than I knew.”
