Rose Reflects on Missed Opportunity as Scheffler and Hatton Make Strong Finishes

Justin Rose expressed disappointment at letting a chance slip away as he narrowly missed out on Masters glory at Augusta National. The three-time runner-up had briefly held a two-shot lead during the final round but ultimately finished in a four-way tie for third place. Rose's momentum shifted after consecutive bogeys at the 11th and 12th holes, and he was unable to regain the lead. He attributed his failure to capitalize on a superb second shot into the 13th hole, where he three-putted for par, as a crucial turning point. Rose praised the crowd at Augusta National, saying they had been "amazing" all week. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured second place behind Rory McIlroy, thanks to a bogey-free 68. Scheffler reflected on his performance, stating that he had played solidly on Thursday but made mistakes on Friday. Tyrrell Hatton also made a notable run on the back nine, with four successive birdies from the 13th hole, to finish with a share of third place. Hatton expressed his happiness with the round and his motivation to secure a spot for next year's tournament, with his wife expecting a child. The PGA Tour now heads to South Carolina for the RBC Heritage, while the next men's major is the PGA Championship, scheduled for May 14-17.
