Rose seals 9th PGA Tour win at Colonial

Justin Rose used a blistering start to cruise to his second win of the PGA Tour season with a three-shot victory at the Fort Worth Invitational in Texas on Sunday.

The Englishman, who began the day with a four-stroke lead, fired six front-nine birdies en route to a 6-under-par 64 at Colonial Country Club that left him one shot off the tournament record score of 21-under 259 set by Zach Johnson in 2010. With the victory, Rose tied Nick Faldo for the most PGA Tour wins by an Englishman post-World War II, with nine. Olympic champion Rose had a chance to equal Johnson鈥檚 record score but failed to convert his 23-foot par attempt at the last, where he carded his second bogey of the day. US Open champion Brooks Koepka, who started the final round in a share of second place with Argentine Emiliano Grillo (64), finished alone in the runner-up spot after going one better than playing competitor Rose with a 7-under 63. Grillo birdied two of the final three holes to finish in third place, four shots behind Rose while sizzling American Kevin Na finished a further two shots back in fourth place after he set a course record with a bogey-free 9-under 61.
