Winning the Olympic gold medal allowed Justin Rose to complete the career continental Grand Slam. With his first win in South America, Rose has now won on all six continents (the ones that have golf courses, anyway; we're not going to count Antarctica).
Here are some other takeaways from the Olympic men's golf tournament:
• It was Rose's 16th career worldwide win as a pro.
• Rose has now won in nine different countries.
• It was Rose's first win worldwide since the 2015 Hong Kong Open.
• Rose is projected to move to ninth in the Official World Golf Ranking.
