Justin Rose 'told to watch Star Wars scene before US Open'

Justin Rose's sports psychologist Gio Valente told the English golfer to watch Star Wars before he went on to win the US Open.

US Open champion Justin Rose was told by his sports psychologist Gio Valente to watch Star Wars before his Major victory at Merion.

The 32-year-old watched the scene from The Empire Strikes Back in which Jedi master Yoda tells Luke Skywalker about his destiny.

"I made Justin watch that scene between Yoda and Luke because I wanted him to know he was ready, that he was finally mature enough to come into his own," The Sun quotes Valente as saying.

Following the advice, Rose went on to pip Phil Mickelson to the title.
