Justin Rose played alongside Tommy Fleetwood in the final group at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entering the week, Rose had 11 PGA Tour wins to his name, while Fleetwood was stuck on zero.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old obviously moved on to 12 wins after triumphing at TPC Southwind.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there was a happy ending for Tommy Fleetwood<\/a> after he broke his PGA Tour duck at the Tour Championship two weeks after the FedEx St. Jude Championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, Justin Rose<\/a> now has 13 PGA Tour<\/a> wins to his name after his runaway victory at the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year.<\/p>\n

However, Fleetwood is still stuck on one PGA Tour win.<\/p>\n

How Justin Rose felt after stopping Tommy Fleetwood winning the FedEx St.Jude<\/p>\n

Rose will be relishing the chance to defend his title this week at TPC Southwind.<\/p>\n

While speaking to the media in Memphis on Tuesday, Rose made a comment about his victory over Fleetwood last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper exciting to be back. Great memories from last year,\u201c he admitted.<\/p>\n

MORE TOMMY FLEETWOOD STORIES<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, yeah, there was a lot going on. Played down the stretch with Tommy, and he was vying to win his first tournament. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere were mixed emotions because of that. I always root for Tommy Fleetwood, but obviously it got to the point where I had to kind of finish out. I had a very strong finish to the back nine on Sunday and ultimately put myself in a playoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it was myself and J.J. going back and forth playing great golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cTypically, I\u2019ve never played the 18th hole so aggressively. Not normally a driver hole for me, but last year in the playoff, I just felt the way the wind was, the way everything was playing, I just kept playing aggressively, and fortunately that worked out really, really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimely win. Obviously any time you can win at this point in the season, it really kind of gives you \u2014 that\u2019s a huge shot in the arm as we all chase for the FedExCup at East Lake.\u201c<\/p>\n

Rose is clearly extremely competitive and, despite the fact that he always roots for Fleetwood, he would have wanted to destroy him in that moment.<\/p>\n

That is what makes him such a fearsome competitor, and it\u2019s the reason why he has 13 PGA Tour wins to his name including a major championship.<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood must try to learn from Justin Rose<\/p>\n

Fleetwood would do well to learn from how Rose operates during tournaments.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old seems to lack that killer edge. He is obviously an incredibly talented golfer, but he has historically struggled to get over the line, failing to win regularly.<\/p>\n

However, just one PGA Tour win is simply not good enough, whatever way you look at it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing that Fleetwood would love more than to add another PGA Tour win to his tally this week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.<\/p>\n

However, he may well have to get past the defending champion if he is to have any chance of doing that.<\/p>\n
