TOKYO ROSE
Justin Rose returns to Torrey Pines at No. 8 in the world and looking in both directions.
He was No. 1 in the world at this time a year ago, and that's where he wants to return. It's the other direction - as far 負かす／撃墜する as No. 15 in the world - that has his attention when it comes to the Olympics.
Countries are 限られた／立憲的な to two players, with as many as four only if they all are の中で the 最高の，を越す 15 in the world. Rose, the 主要な player from Britain, is 確信して he'll be in Tokyo to defend his gold メダル. But it's not a given.
Tommy Fleetwood is at No. 10. Paul Casey is No. 18. Matt Fitzpatrick is at No. 24, and a resurgent 物陰／風下 Westwood moved up to No. 29 with his victory in Abu Dhabi.
"Team GB is a really strong team," Rose said. "For me, the 15 is the 重要な 示す. 明白に, I'm trying to look at the world 最高位のs and try to go up. I had a little slip toward the end of last year, but having been No. 1 in the world, hopefully I'm looking north, not south. But 15 is the 重要な number. ...

But it's 早期に. There are three majors, The Players 選手権, two World ゴルフ 選手権s and two other events that typically dish out big 最高位の points (Riviera and the 記念の) before the cutoff to qualify.
"It would be fantastic if we could field four guys," Rose said.
