Justin Rose shared a friendly warning to Scottie Scheffler after the English golfer won the Farmers Insurance Open. Rose had an amazing outing playing at Torrey Pines and registered a seven-stroke win in the game.
With that, he jumped from No. 10 to No. 3 in the OWGR. He shared a screenshot of the rankings on his X (formerly Twitter) account and, in a caption, hilariously shared a friendly warning to the current world No. 1. Rose wrote:
“Number 3 in the @OWGRltd after the 🏆 I’m coming for you Scottie!! 😂😂”
Scottie Scheffler had won The American Express last week and maintained his ranking in the OWGR. Rory McIlroy is in second place, followed by Rose and then Tommy Fleetwood in the rankings.
Notably, Justin Rose had previously played at The American Express but struggled to make the cut, but was impressive this week on the PGA Tour.
Meanwhile, Pierceson Coody played an impressive round of 65 on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open and jumped 12 spots on the leaderboard. He settled in a tie for second place with Si Woo Kim and Ryo Hisatsune. Jake Knapp tied for fifth place with Stephan Jaeger.
Justin Rose shares a four-word message after he won the Farmers Insurance Open
Justin Rose shared a picture of himself after winning the Farmers Insurance Open. He posed with the trophy and reacted with a four-word message. He wrote:
“WIRE-TO-WIRE Baby!!”
The English golfer started his game on the PGA Tour last week with an opening round of 62. He then played the next three rounds of 65, 68, and 70. He opened up about his performance in the post-round press conference.
“First and foremost, it’s an amazing thing to win any time any place by one, by whoever, wherever on any golf course,” Rose said. “But yeah, when you start to think about some of the way this week unfolded, it really is probably incredibly special. Like you say, I think the 36-hole, 54-, 72-hole scoring record.
“The fact I think I was able to kind of build my lead each day, you know, extend my lead each day is something that obviously as a player I’m proud of where you can kind of feel like you can play with that pressure from day one, go wire to wire and kind of keep progressing and keep moving forward. Maybe that’s something that I haven’t been able to achieve before either, so a lot of self-satisfaction in that one,” he added.
With that win, Justin Rose also won $1.7 million in prize money and 500 FedEx Cup points. Notably, it was the second time he won the Farmers Insurance Open. He previously won it in 2019.
