Terry backs Justin Rose ahead of Masters

Chelsea captain John Terry has backed Justin Rose, while poking fun at Rory McIlroy.

England team-mate Wayne Rooney sent his best wishes to McIlroy but Terry preferred to back Rose.

McIlroy took to the green yesterday for the Par 3 competition and unveiled One Direction’s Niall Horan as his caddie.

The Blues legend chose to mock the decision and back McIlroy’s competitor.

The 34-year-old tweeted:

“Good luck @justinprose99 in the Masters. I hope @niallhoran isn’t your caddy”

We can presume JT isn’t a 1D fanboy.
