Rose draws inspiration from past Masters disappointments

Justin Rose is looking to capitalize on his impressive record at Augusta National, despite a string of near-misses, including last year's play-off heartbreak. The former world No 1, who has already won on the PGA Tour this season, believes his past experiences will only boost his confidence to claim victory at The Masters. Rose has registered 10 top-10 finishes in majors since his disappointment in 2017 and is determined to go one step further. "I feel like I've pretty much done what it takes to win, I just haven't walked over the line," Rose said. He is focused on executing well and enjoying the event, rather than feeling like he is owed a win. Rose's impressive start to the season, including a win at the Farmers Insurance Open, has set him up for a strong campaign at The Masters. With a good attitude and a love for the course, Rose is ready to take on the challenge and make the most of his opportunities. A win for Rose would make him the second-oldest winner of The Masters in history, and he is motivated to keep pushing himself to improve, despite his age. "I don't think about it on a day-to-day level, but I'm happy that the narrative around it is more positive than negative," Rose said. He believes there are still areas of his game that he can significantly improve, and his enthusiasm for the work is what drives him to continue competing at a high level.
