Justin Rose expressed disappointment over a missed chance at Masters glory, saying it was an opportunity that slipped away. The English golfer led by two shots at one point in the final round but ultimately finished in a four-way tie for third place.
Rose attributed his loss to a shift in momentum around Amen Corner, where he had back-to-back bogeys. Despite his strong start, he was unable to regain the lead and finished with a two-under 70. Rose felt that his par at the 13th, where he three-putted, was a crucial moment that cost him the win. He praised the crowd at Augusta National, saying they were amazing all week and pulled for him until the end.
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler claimed second place behind Rory McIlroy, and Tyrrell Hatton made a surprising run on the back nine to finish in a tie for third. Hatton's strong finish guaranteed him a spot at next year's Masters, which he said was a motivation for him, especially with his wife expecting a child. The PGA Tour heads to South Carolina for the RBC Heritage, and the next men's major is the PGA Championship in May.
