Justin Rose believes he is now at the optimum stage of his career when he can cash in at the Majors.

The 2013 US Open champion arrived here looking for an impressive treble after winning successive tournaments on either side of the Atlantic as he followed his Quicken Loans National title with victory at the Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen.

While he would desperately love to win his home Major, particularly on English soil, Rose is not limiting himself to targeting just the Claret Jug.

Which might be wise considering since he famously finished fourth as a 17-year-old amateur in 1998, Rose has not recorded another top-10 finish in 11 attempts, missing the cut in three of the last four years.

"I think it's always easy after two wins to get carried away and say you're playing the best golf of your life," said the 33-year-old.

"I'm definitely more experienced and I think that begins to swing the pendulum in your favour and experience plays a huge part in being able to capitalise upon your best golf.

"In 2010 I was probably playing just as well as I was now but four or five years on I'm probably a little bit more equipped to deal with the big situation and I have a lot more positives now under my belt: Ryder Cups and Major championships.

"I've been at the top end of the game now for a couple of years I suppose so that brings a lot of confidence."
