US EditionRose Buoyed by Masters Support Despite Another Near Miss
Rose bogeys three holes on the back nine and finishes tied for third as McIlroy captures his second straight Masters title.
- On Sunday, Rory McIlroy won the Masters after Justin Rose faltered on the back nine at Augusta National Golf Club, finishing two shots behind the Northern Irishman.
- Justin Rose entered the back nine with a two-shot lead, but mistakes through Amen Corner cost him the title; he has finished runner-up three times at Augusta, including a playoff loss to McIlroy last year.
- Bogeys at the 11th and 12th holes, plus a missed 3-footer at the 17th, ended Rose's chances. "Clearly too aggressive with it," Rose said, adding, "Maybe just lost my patience there a little bit off the back of two bogeys."
- Expressing disappointment at failing to shed his "nearly man" tag, Rose called the defeat "another little stinger," while pledging to return next year and "give everything."
- Despite the setback, Rose remains a top competitor, having previously won the 2013 U.S. Open. Reflecting on his performance, he noted, "Whereas today, I felt like there was an opportunity to do better. So obviously that is frustrating for sure.
