The 37-year-old did just that with a brilliant performance in the UBS Hong Kong Open. No matter what happens to him in future, he can say he succeeded on the European Tour.
Justin Rose won the tournament. He picked up his eighth European Tour win by a shot over Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard with a 17-under-par total of 263. He took the $319,000 first-place check and moved to fourth on the European Tour money list.
