Rose returns to scene of victory

– World No 1 Justin Rose will return to Royale Jakarta Golf Club in December to defend his Indonesian Masters title, the organisers said on Thursday.

The Englishman, 38, who was crowned world No 1 when he finished second at the BMW Championship this month, will feature in the season-ending Asian Tour event, which will be played over December 13-16.

“My win last year was immensely satisfying – it was the largest winning margin for me in a tournament,” said Rose, who won by eight shots. – Reuters
