Justin Rose has made plenty of headlines recently after winning his last two starts on the European Tour.

But after a first-round 66 at the season-ending Tour Championship in Dubai, one media outlet was still unable to get the Olympic champion's name right:

The Englishman burst onto the global golf scene as a 17-year-old amateur at the 1998 Open Championship, holing a 45-yard wedge shot for birdie on the 72nd hole. Rose turned pro the day after, grabbing a T-4 result at Royal Birkdale and then claiming the 2013 U.S. Open for his first major title.
