Rose touts young Brit as rising star

Former major winner Justin Rose said on Tuesday that rising star Matthew Fitzpatrick would be among the toughest contenders at the upcoming Hong Kong Open, but his own chances of winning were still "decent".

Fitzpatrick, a 21-year-old fellow Briton, won his first European Tour title at the British Masters this month and came second in the Omega European Masters in July behind Danny Willett.

Currently 12th in the "Race to Dubai", he is also ranked No 61 in the world.
