Rose wins at Colonial, rises to No. 3 in world

FORT WORTH, Texas — Justin Rose closed with a 6-under-par 64 and finished at 20-under 260 on Sunday at Colonial for a threestroke victory over

U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka in the Fort Worth Invitational.

Rose won for the ninth time on the PGA Tour and became the fifth player with multiple victories this season. Rose also won the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in the fall.

The 37-year-old from England earned $1,278,000 and a plaid jacket for winning at Hogan’s Alley. He moves to No. 3 in the world and will have a mathematical chance to reach No. 1 this week at the Memorial.

Koepka shot 63 but had started the day four strokes behind Rose in the final group. Emiliano Grillo shot 64 and finished third at 16 under.

While Rose missed matching Zach Johnson’s 2010 tournament scoring record of 259 because of bogey on the 72nd hole, first-round leader Kevin Na, a Las Vegas resident, matched the course record with a closing 61 and finished fourth at 14 under.

At Ann Arbor, Mich., Minjee Lee of Australia birdied the 18th hole to close with a 4-under 68 for a 16-under

272 total, winning the Volvik Championship on her 22nd birthday by one shot over I.K. Kim (67).

At Benton Harbor, Mich., Paul Broadhurst of England shot an 8-under 63 for a 19-under 265 total to win the Senior PGA Championship by four strokes and match the tournament’s 72-hole scoring record.

At Virginia Water, England, Francesco Molinari of Italy capped a bogey-free weekend with a 4-under 68 for a 17-under 271 total to win the BMW Championship by two shots over Rory Mcilroy (70).
