Rose draws inspiration from past Masters near-misses

Justin Rose is looking to capitalize on his past experiences at Augusta National, where he has come close to winning on multiple occasions. Despite his impressive record at The Masters, Rose insists that the course owes him nothing and he must earn his victories. Having already won on the PGA Tour this season, Rose is confident in his abilities and believes that his near-misses will only serve to boost his determination to win. With 10 top-10 finishes in majors since 2017, including a runner-up finish at The Open in 2024 and a play-off loss at The Masters, Rose is more motivated than ever to claim the title. "I feel like I've done what it takes to win, I just haven't crossed the finish line," Rose said. "I don't feel like I need to find something new, I just need to execute and take advantage of my opportunities." Rose's past experiences at The Masters, including a dramatic Sunday comeback last year, have given him a taste of what it would be like to win, and he is eager to make it a reality. At 46, Rose would become the second-oldest winner of The Masters in history if he emerges victorious this year, but he is not letting his age hold him back. "I don't think about my age on a day-to-day basis," Rose said. "I'm just focused on enjoying the work and finding ways to improve my game." With his sights set on The Masters, Rose is ready to put everything on the line and make his dream a reality.
