DUBLIN, Ohio - Winless for more than two years, so far down the world rankings that he was in danger of being forgotten, Justin Rose decided to stop being obsessed with results and think only about the shot in front of him.

It led to a result that was long overdue.

With a flawless final round to overcome a four-shot deficit, Rose had one-putt greens on eight consecutive holes on Sunday and closed with a 6-under 66 to win the Memorial tournament for his first title in America.
