Justin Rose expressed disappointment at a missed chance for Masters victory, describing it as an opportunity that slipped away. The English golfer, a three-time runner-up, had briefly led by two shots during the final round but ultimately finished in a four-way tie for third place with a score of 10 under, two strokes behind the leader.
Rose attributed his downfall to consecutive bogeys at the 11th and 12th holes and a missed opportunity for a birdie at the 13th, where he three-putted for par. Despite the setback, Rose praised the crowd at Augusta National for their support throughout the tournament. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured second place with a remarkable performance, not dropping a single shot over the weekend.
Tyrrell Hatton also made a notable run, emerging from the pack with a strong back nine to finish in a share of third place. Hatton's motivation was partly driven by the upcoming birth of his child and the prospect of returning to the tournament with his family next year.
