At age 45, Rose became the oldest winner on the PGA Tour in five years when he defeated reigning US Open champion J.J. Spaun on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff at the FedEx St Jude Championship in Memphis.

The three-time major champion said he is not concerned about his surgically repaired right wrist, even though problems persist almost a year after the operation.

Burns got hotter than Marble Bar in January when he pulled his tee shot badly on the par-4 ninth hole during the third round of the FedEx St Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.
Matsuyama was returning to the US from Paris, where he won the Olympic golf bronze medal, and he was travelling with his caddie, Shota Hayato and coach Mikihito Kuromiya. They had a one-night layover in London and went to a restaurant downtown where the robbery occurred.
