Rose Reflects on Missed Opportunity as Scheffler and Hatton Make Strong Finishes
Justin Rose expressed disappointment over a missed chance at Masters glory, citing a shift in momentum around Amen Corner as the turning point. Despite leading by two shots at one stage, Rose ultimately finished in a four-way tie for third. He attributed his par at the 13th hole as the decisive moment that cost him the win. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler and Tyrrell Hatton made notable performances, with Scheffler claiming second place and Hatton threatening a surprise victory with a strong back nine. Rose praised the crowd's support, saying it was 'amazing' all week, but felt a sense of sympathy rather than enthusiasm at the end. Scheffler, the 2022 and 2024 winner, followed up a flawless 65 with a bogey-free 68, achieving an impressive feat of not dropping a shot over the weekend. Hatton, who started the day seven off the lead, made a remarkable run on the back nine with four successive birdies, finishing with a share of third place and securing a spot for next year's tournament.
