Rose Refreshed and Ready for Masters Challenge

Justin Rose is once again in contention at The Masters, having bounced back from last year's playoff loss to Rory McIlroy. Following rounds of 70 and 69, Rose is challenging for a major victory, and he insists that the experience of previous near-misses has taught him valuable lessons. Rose reflected on his performance, stating that being in contention is 'very satisfying' and that he is 'enjoying the crowd's energy.' He also emphasized the importance of maintaining focus while keeping his game 'fun, light, and aggressive.' Rose recovered from an early bogey to post four birdies in a five-hole stretch, eventually finishing five under. Fellow Englishman Tyrrell Hatton also made a strong push up the leaderboard with a six-under 66, despite a bogey at the last hole. Hatton acknowledged the challenges of the course, noting that 'making seven birdies out there is not an easy thing to do.' World No 1 Scottie Scheffler, on the other hand, struggled with a two-over 74, bogeying both par-fives on the second nine. Scheffler expressed frustration with his performance, feeling that he 'played a lot better than my score' and was 'really challenging' despite the setbacks.
