Rankings woe for Westwood
Justin Rose's runners-up spot at the Dubai World Championship has seen the Englishman knock compatriot Lee Westwood out of the world's top four for the first time in more than three years. Rose carded a course-record 62 in the final round at Jumeirah Golf Estates - including this breathtaking two-putt at 18 - to finish two shots shy of runaway World No.1 Rory McIlroy. The 32-year-old started the year as World No.20 but has enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons to date with top-tens at the Masters and PGA Championship and victories at the WGC-Cadillac Championship and inaugural eight-man World Golf Finals - where he also toppled Westwood. McIlroy, meanwhile, heaped more misery on Westwood by leapfrogging him in the all-time World No.1 records. The Ulsterman, now 4.33 points clear of Luke Donald, is enjoying his 23rd week at the summit.
