Justin Rose wins 13th title on the PGA Tour
Justin Rose didn't just beat the field at Torrey Pin, he outclassed it. With a total score of 23 under Par, he secured his 13th title on the PGA Tour, breaking the previous tournament record set by none other than Tiger Woods in 1999.
Rose left no doubt about his form from the very first day. The last time he led the tournament over all four rounds - a wire-to-wire victory - in the long history of this event was over 70 years ago. With a seven-shot lead, he relegated the competition to third place in the world rankings.
Focus on the essentials: Dreams instead of petrodollars
The triumph in California is more than just another trophy in the display case for Rose. It is the final validation of a decision he made two years ago. When the Saudi-funded LIV League beckoned with astronomical sums, Rose made a conscious decision to stay on the PGA Tour.
"My career goals were only ever achievable on the PGA Tour," explained Rose, visibly moved after his victory. For him, Traditions, access to the Majors and his "childish self", who dreamed of sporting heritage, were never for sale. His current success proves this integrity right: with a ball speed of 180 mph and a precision that amazed even much younger players such as Sahith Theegala, Rose proves that he is in the prime of his "Indian summer" in sporting terms.
Brooks Koepka back on the PGA Tour
Special attention was also paid to a prominent returnee this week: Brooks Koepka played his first tournament on the PGA Tour in Torrey Pin after turning his back on the competitive LIV Tour. While the crowd gave the five-time major winner a warm welcome with shouts of "Welcome back", his sporting comeback was rather subdued. Koepka finished the tournament in a tie for 56th place. However, his performance illustrated the current dynamic in world golf, in which the sporting relevance and competitive pressure of the PGA Tour are once again becoming the central attraction for the elite.
Financial reward: the prize money distribution at Torrey Pin
In addition to the 500 FedExCup points, Rose was delighted to receive a check in the millions. German professional Stephan Jaeger also confirmed his strong form with a top 5 finish.
