Reuters: Englishman Justin Rose is projected to regain the world number one ranking by the narrowest of margins from Brooks Koepka as the pair continue to trade the top spot in golf.

The world ranking number-crunchers suggested on Saturday that Koepka needed to finish no worse than a two-way tie for 11th at the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan to remain on top.

The American, however, finished 12th. One lousy shot better and he would have tied for 10th and remained number one.

The updated rankings are projected to have Rose on 10.0344 points, and Koepka on 10.0332 points.
