Fantasy Golf stats round-up: Week 28
Justin Rose took 405 points at the Hong Kong Open
For the third week running an Englishman has won on the European Tour.
Let's start our Fantasy Golf round-up by giving you the bonus code for this week, allowing you one extra transfer: RyanP4lmer - valid until 23:59 on Wednesday
One of the PGA Tour's most consistent performers this year, Justin Rose swapped continents for the Hong Kong Open last week. It paid off.
He finished one shot clear of Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard at the Hong Kong GC, avoiding his second play-off of the year.
For the third week running, an Englishman has won on the European Tour. Andy Sullivan was the victor at the Portugal Masters last week and Matt Fitzpatrick took the British Masters title the week before. Rose's win means that there have been 10 English wins on Tour this year.
British Masters winner Fitzpatrick continued his good form with a T3 finish. Fitzpatrick, Soomin Lee, Patrick Reed and Jason Scrivener were all six shots back from Rose.

While Anirban Lahiri continues to impress with a T7, Peter Uihlein, who pulled out of the British Masters through injury, earned an impressive T13.
