England's Justin Rose staggeringly won the WGC Champions title as world number one Dustin Johnson collapsed on the final day.

Rose hit a final round of 67 to finish on 14 under par and scoop the trophy and the prize money.

All eyes were on Dustin Johnson as he went into the final round leading by six shots and looked set to win. However, a stinker of a final round which saw five bogeys, saw him get round in 77 to finish joint second.

Rose, who won the Olympics gold in 2016 told the BBC: "It's unbelievable," 

"It's been a long time since I've won, or at least it feels like that. I've won every year since 2010, if you include the Olympics last year. I've left it late this year but it feels amazing.

"We all know the position DJ was in and today was the kind of day that the leader probably didn't want. This is the kind of day where that kind of swing is possible.

Henrik Stenseon and Brooks Koepka were the two players to finish on 12 under alongside Dustin Johnson.
