Rose wins in Shanghai; Johnson ties bad mark

Justin Rose posed with the trophy from the balcony high above the 18th green at Sheshan International, a moment that didn’t seem possible.

He started the final round eight shots behind Dustin Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world.

“The beginning of the day, I was playing for second,” Rose said.

The HSBC Champions turned into a shocker in Shanghai when Johnson went into the PGA Tour record books for all the wrong reasons.

Instead of being the first player to win three World Golf Championships in a year, he tied a record for losing the largest lead in the final round. Six shots clear of the field, Johnson didn’t make a birdie on a wild, windblown Sunday for a collapse that Rose didn’t see coming.

Rose’s 5-under-par 67 gave him a 14-under 274 total. Johnson’s 77 left him in a tie for second with Henrik Stenson and Brooks Koepka at 276.

LPGA Tour: Cristie Kerr made a 35-foot birdie putt for a par 71 and a one-shot win in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. China’s Shanshan Feng and Americans Danielle Kang and Jacqui Concolino tied for second at 14-under.

PGA Tour: Ryan Armour shot a 4-under 68 to win the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss. He finished at 19-under for a five-shot win over Chesson Hadley.

Champions: Bernhard Langer made a 30-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat Miguel Angel Jimenez in the PowerShares QQQ Championship in Thousand Oaks (Ventura County). It was Langer’s second win in two events of the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs.
