SAN DIEGO – Justin Rose didn’t have much time to celebrate his victory on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open with a flight waiting to take him to Saudi Arabia via London for next week’s Saudi International on the European Tour.
Rose, who said he would arrive in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday morning, said the event fit perfectly into his schedule with three weeks off looming after the first-year event to recover from the travel.
Rose – who will be joined in the field in Saudi Arabia by Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, assuring the event the world’s top three players – was also asked about the potential political fallout of playing the Saudi International.
