The conclusion to the Turkish Airlines Open was a dramatic one.
Rose and playing partner Nicolas Colsaerts were tied at 17-under-par as they stood on the 18th tee.
Both players stuffed their approaches close however it was the Englishman who drained his birdie attempt while the German two-putted.

Rose is now within touching distance of Tommy Fleetwood at the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex.
The victory was the 20th of his professional career and his 11th on the European Tour.
