Rouzi only played in the three Asian Tour events during the 2014–15 season. He won four matches to reach the quarter-finals of the Xuzhou Open, where he lost 4–1 to Joe Perry which saw him finish 25th on the Order of Merit.[5][6] The following season he only played in the Haining Open, losing 4–1 to Tom Ford in the second round.[7] Despite dropping off the tour having finished a lowly 115th in the world, he received the Chinese nomination for a new two-year tour place.[8][9] He did not enter a single event in the 2016–17 season.[10]
