Rose thanks mentor after chip bags BMW

JUSTIN ROSE paid tribute to former European Tour professional Mark Roe after claiming his third PGA Tour title at the BMW Championship in Illinois.

Rose started the final round with a four-shot lead but had to endure some nervous moments before edging out John Senden by two strokes.

The 31-year-old was fortunate to escape with a six on the par-five 15th after a wayward tee-shot which flew into the trees.
