Justin Rose wins nail-biting playoff against JJ Spaun to claim FedEx Cup title

• Run of late birdies sets up Rose's victory in Memphis

• At 45, is oldest European to win on Tour in modern era

Justin Rose produced a sensational finish at the FedEx St Jude Championship with six birdies in his last final eight holes to win a playoff against the US Open champion JJ Spaun.

The English golfer, who at 45 became the oldest European to win on the PGA Tour in the modern era, looked out of it after a bogey at the 12th dropped him to 12 under. That left Rose two off the pace with Tommy Fleetwood, the world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Spaun ahead of him.
