Justin Rose claims three-shot victory at Fort Worth Invitational

Justin Rose has won the Fort Worth Invitational to claim his ninth PGA Tour title after finishing three shots clear in Texas.

The 37-year-old Englishman carded a six-under-par closing round of 64 to finish with a 20-under total - three clear of nearest challenger Brooks Koepka.

The victory is Olympic champion Rose's fourth global success since November 2017 and sees him move to third in the world rankings, giving him a chance to become world No 1 at next week's Memorial Tournament.

"I'm delighted the way I played this week," Rose said on Sky Sports Golf. "The way I hit the ball this week... I'm a little speechless.

"This is something for me to build on. This week was a big step in the right direction. There's still more work to be done. It's going to be about conserving that energy into the US Open."

Starting the day four ahead of US Open champion Koepka and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, Rose came racing out the blocks at Colonial Country Club with birdies at the first and second.

Driving into a fairway bunker cost him a bogey at the third, but Rose fired a hat-trick of birdies from the fifth and rolled in a 10-footer at the ninth to turn in 30.

Further gains at the 11th and 14th kept the fast-finishing Koepka at bay, with the American making four birdies on the back nine to sign for a round of 63.

Grillo carded a closing 64 to finish third on 16 under, two ahead of America's Kevin Na, who broke the course record with a 61 which included nine birdies.
