Rose Reflects on Missed Opportunity as Scheffler and Hatton Finish Strongly

Justin Rose expressed disappointment over a missed chance at Masters glory, describing it as a "chance that got away" after he led by two shots at one stage in the final round at Augusta National. Rose, a three-time runner-up, had a strong start with four birdies in five holes but struggled around Amen Corner with back-to-back bogeys, ultimately finishing in a four-way tie for third on 10 under. He reflected on the momentum shift, stating, "I was really in control... but just momentum shifted for me around the Amen Corner." Rose felt that his par at the 13th, where he three-putted, was a crucial moment that cost him the win. Despite this, he praised the crowd's support throughout the week. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured second place behind the winner, Rory McIlroy, with a remarkable bogey-free weekend at Augusta National. Scheffler, the world No 1, followed up his flawless 65 with a 68, achieving a notable feat of not dropping a shot all weekend. Tyrrell Hatton also made a strong run on the back nine, emerging from the pack with a tremendous eagle two at the par-four seventh and four successive birdies from the 13th, finishing with a six-under 66 for a share of third place.
