Justin Rose is the undisputed No. 1 player in golf

SAN DIEGO -- Getting to No. 1 in the world came with some awkwardness for Justin Rose over the past few months as he played give and take with Brooks Koepka for the top spot.

It doesn't seem to be much of a problem now.

Rose's two-shot victory Sunday over Adam Scott at the Farmers Insurance Open was his third in the past year and continued an amazing run of consistency that has seen him post 16 top-10 finishes in his past 24 worldwide events.

"He's the No. 1 player in the world and he's showing why right now,'' said Scott, whose 19-under par effort would have won the last nine Farmers tournaments.
