Justin Rose expressed disappointment at a chance that slipped away, as he once again fell short of Masters glory at Augusta National. Having led by two shots at one point in the final round, Rose's momentum was halted by consecutive bogeys at the 11th and 12th holes, followed by a missed opportunity for a birdie at the 13th, where he three-putted for par.
This stumble allowed Rory McIlroy to overtake him, and Rose ultimately finished in a four-way tie for third place with a two-under 70, two strokes behind McIlroy. Rose attributed his loss to a shift in momentum around Amen Corner, citing the par at the 13th as the decisive moment that cost him the win. Despite his disappointment, Rose praised the supportive crowd at Augusta National.
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured second place behind McIlroy with a remarkable bogey-free weekend, and Tyrrell Hatton made a notable surge up the leaderboard with a run of four successive birdies, finishing in a share of third place.
