Rose’s No. 1 reign over despite FedEx Cup triumph
Print Edition
JUSTIN Rose may have scooped the FedEx Cup trophy with a fourth-place finish at the Tour Championship on Sunday but it was not enough to prevent him from surrendering the coveted top spot in the world rankings.
The 2016 Olympic champion will be replaced as world No. 1 by Dustin Johnson when the new rankings are released.
Johnson regained the ranking after finishing third, one shot ahead of Rose, at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Course.
Rose, however, was more than satisfied with his week’s work, which earned him a US$10-million FedEx Cup winner’s check. “There were a lot of scenarios at play this week and that’s what the beauty of this format is. I think obviously for me this year it rewarded consistent golf.
“For me, I was trying to do my best to win this golf tournament and scoop the double jackpot.”
Johnson had first moved to world No. 1 in February 2017 and remained atop the rankings for 64 weeks until the second week in May this year. He then returned to top spot four weeks after Justin Thomas had seized the title and with Johnson staying atop of the rankings for a further 13 weeks until Rose finished runner-up in the BMW Championship in Philadelphia.
Tiger Woods, who ended a five-year winless drought to capture an 80th PGA Tour title, has moved up a further eight places to be the new world No. 13.
