Rose pulls out of Memorial

Justin Rose, runner-up in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, has pulled out of this week's Memorial Tournament in America.

But the 26-year-old has not suffered a recurrence of the back trouble which has limited him to just two tournaments since late February.

"I'm just trying to be a little bit more cautious. I don't believe there's a problem," said Rose, whose next appearance will now be the US Open at Oakmont starting on June 14. "I've taken advice from my fitness trainer, who is experienced with footballers at Arsenal. It's just a matter of getting myself a little bit stronger."

He added: "I have to give it some time fitness-wise in the gym to cope with a full playing schedule. I'm going to dedicate the next couple of weeks to really getting myself 100%."
