Justin Rose celebrates with his son Leo after he won the final round at the BMW Championship golf tournament. Perhaps it was only fitting that the winner was Justin Rose, whose goal all week was to keep it simple. Rose had a practice session with coach Sean Foley to make sure his club was on line at the top of his swing. Rose tried to limit his swing thoughts to only one key, which was to rotate his hips.
Rose's two-shot victory, his third on the PGA Tour, over John Senden was worth $1.44 million and sends him to the Tour Championship with a shot at the $10 million FedEx Cup prize. Rose jumped from 34th in the FedEx Cup standings at the beginning of the week to No. 3. The top five — Webb Simpson, Dustin Johnson, Rose, Luke Donald and Matt Kuchar — only have to win the Tour Championship to collect the biggest payoff in golf.
Rose, Senden and third-place finisher Geoff Ogilvy were the only ones who played their way into the Tour Championship. The order was the only thing that changed in the standings for both the U.S. and International teams for the Presidents Cup, to be played Nov. 17-20 at Royal Melbourne in Australia.
