Justin Rose recaptured the No. 1 ranking in the world with his victory at the Turkish Airlines Open -- and will just as quickly give it up, through no fault of his own, as the quirks of the system put Brooks Koepka in the lead spot next week.
Such is the fate of Rose, who has taken what would otherwise be considered an unusual path to the top if it were not for the amazing level of consistency the English golfer has exhibited over the past year.
Rose, 38, has spent most of the past eight years among the top 20 in the world, a majority of that time in the top 10, and for long stretches in the top 5.
