Thanks to his win at the Hong Kong Open, Justin Rose leapfrogged Henrik Stenson to move from No. 7 to No. 6 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
The win was Rose's second worldwide this year and fourth in the last 16 months. The Englishman has been a fixture in the top 10 since his U.S. Open victory in 2013, spending only two weeks outside it, earlier this spring, in the more than two years since hoisting the trophy at Merion.
Across the globe in Las Vegas, Smylie Kaufman fired a final-round 61 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to outlast the field and pick up his first PGA Tour win in only his fifth start.
