Rose Fades Late but Stays in Masters Contention After First Round
Rose carded a two-under 70 and said late bogeys spoiled an otherwise solid start as early leaders McIlroy and Sam Burns pulled ahead.
- Justin Rose ended the opening round at the Masters three shots behind leaders Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns, remaining in contention at Augusta National despite a late stumble on Thursday.
- Variable winds and firmer greens made conditions at Augusta National increasingly difficult as the day progressed. Rose struggled on the closing stretch, finishing with consecutive bogeys at the 17th and 18th.
- The 45-year-old Rose said his day was "spoiled a little bit by two late bogeys, but other than that, I think a good start to the tournament." He enters with strong form, having secured his 13th PGA Tour title earlier this season.
- Former Masters champion Patrick Reed, Jason Day, and Kurt Kitayama sit at 3 under, while Rose remains one shot back alongside major champions Scottie Scheffler, Shane Lowry, and Xander Schauffele.
- Patience will be key moving forward, Rose noted, emphasizing that "grinding out the pars is a good thing" on the firm and fast course. Schauffele is considering a more conservative approach for Friday's round.
