Justin Rose had to sweat out the final five holes at steamy Aronimink to win the AT&T National by one shot for his second PGA Tour title in his last three starts.
One week after Rose lost a three-shot lead in the final round, he had a five-shot advantage when he made the turn Sunday. Then came consecutive three-putt bogeys, and the 29-year-old Englishman had to battle for pars to the secure the victory.
He closed with an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory over Ryan Moore, who finished with eight straight one-putt greens for a 65.
Tiger Woods was long gone before the conclusion. When he closed with a 71, it marked the first time in 11 years that he failed to finish a regular PGA Tour event without breaking par in any of the four rounds.
