Justin Rose is returning to No. 1 in the World Golf Ranking after winning the Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday.ANTALYA, Turkey - Justin Rose is No. 1 in the World Golf Ranking again, and this time it feels even more special to him because he went home with a trophy.
The 38-year-old Englishman rallied from a three-shot deficit Sunday by closing with a 3-under-par 68, then defeated China's Li Haotong on the first playoff hole with a par to win the Turkish Airlines Open for the second straight year.
The first time Rose reached No. 1 in the world was two months ago, a bittersweet moment because he lost the PGA Tour's BMW Championship in a playoff with Keegan Bradley.
"This time I've got some silverware," Rose said. "Last time it was muted because I was still so mad at not winning the tournament at the BMW. But this time I've got the double kind of winning feeling, so it might be a bit more fun to celebrate it at this time."
Rose has had plenty to celebrate lately. He won the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup championship with its $10 million bonus in September, but much like getting to No. 1 in the world for the first time, it was an awkward moment because he had a chance to win the Tour Championship and instead closed with a 73 and tied for fourth.
In Sunday's win - Rose's 12th on the European Tour and 21st worldwide - he got help from Li, who closed with a 71 and lost the playoff with a three-putt bogey from just inside 10 feet.
"It's a tough day for me," Li said. "I think I played well the whole week but didn't hole a few putts on the last, and that was it."
Rose kept the No. 1 ranking for two weeks the first time he reached the top. Brooks Koepka will have a chance to take it back in two weeks when he attempts to repeat as champion at the Japan Golf Tour's Dunlop Phoenix tournament.
Eagle crucial in victory
LAS VEGAS - Bryson DeChambeau holed an eagle putt from just inside 60 feet on the 16th hole that carried him to a 5-under 66 and a one-shot victory over Patrick Cantlay in the Shriners Hospital for Children Open.
DeChambeau won for the fourth time in his past 12 starts on the PGA Tour and moved to No. 5 in the world. He had to survive a wild back nine at TPC Summerlin in which four players had a share of the lead at some point.
"I was able to play some great golf," DeChambeau said. "I'm happy to get it done."
Cantlay, trying to become the first player to win back-to-back titles in the Las Vegas tournament in nearly 20 years, made a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-5 16th hole to take a one-shot lead. But from a bunker right of the green on the par-3 17th, Cantlay was fooled by the amount of sand under his ball and flubbed the shot.
One hole behind him, DeChambeau rolled in his long eagle putt from just off the green and celebrated with a big uppercut. Cantlay missed his long par putt, giving DeChambeau control of the tournament.
Cantlay birdied the 18th for a 65, but it wasn't enough when DeChambeau played the final two holes conservatively for pars to finish at 21-under 263 and earn the fifth win of his PGA Tour career.
Sam Ryder (62) was third at 19 under, with Abraham Ancer (66), Rickie Fowler (63) and Robert Streb (68) two strokes further back in fourth.
Former Baylor School and University of Georgia standout Harris English (70) tied for 36th at 10 under. Through three starts in the 2018-19 season, English has earned $63,754 and 31 FedEx Cup points.
Hataoka wins at home
SHIGA, Japan - Nasa Hataoka closed with a 5-under 67 to win the Toto Japan Classic for her second LPGA Tour title of the season, and this one came in her home country.
Hataoka, who is 19 and in her second season on the tour, offset a pair of bogeys with seven birdies at Seta Golf Club to finish the 54-hole event at 14-under 202, two strokes ahead of compatriots Saki Nagamine and Momoka Ueda as well as Spain's Carlota Ciganda, who each shot a 68.
South Korean golfers Jin Young Ko (66) and Ji-Hee Lee (68) tied for fifth at 11 under, while Lee (78) tied for 15th.
Hataoka, who won the Arkansas Championship in June, started the final round four strokes behind second-round leader Minjee Lee. The 22-year-old Australian, a four-time winner on tour, quickly faded, playing the opening nine in 7-over 43 and opening the door for Hataoka, who played the same stretch in 4-under 36. Hataoka had a setback after the turn, carding consecutive bogeys at the 11th and 12th and allowing Ciganda to briefly pull into a tie for the lead.
Hataoka regained her confidence with a clutch par save at No. 13, though, and her birdie at No. 14 reclaimed the lead. Ciganda had a chance to tie Hataoka at No. 18 but left her birdie putt from above the hole too short. Hataoka's birdie putt fell.
