Justin Rose will hope a troublesome back injury doesn't put paid to his Hong Kong Open title defence as the new European Tour season gets underway on Thursday. The Olympic champion was forced to pull out after the first round of last week's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, but he made the trip to Hong Kong regardless. Rose isn't the only top player with fitness concerns at the opening event of the 2017 European Tour season, which also rounds off the Asian Tour's 2016 schedule.
