Justin Rose re-energised following ‘comedown’ in wake of Masters near miss

Justin Rose accepts losing out to Rory McIlroy in a play-off at the Masters may have impacted subsequent performances but believes he is now over his “comedown”.

The Englishman was edged out by his Ryder Cup team-mate in a thrilling finale at Augusta in April, a birdie at the first extra hole seeing McIlroy complete the career Grand Slam.

Rose felt he did little wrong after shooting 66 on the last day to fire himself into contention, but since that runners-up finish he has missed three cuts, including the two other majors, and not come higher than 42nd prior to Sunday’s sixth place at the Scottish Open.

I gave it everything….

Congratulations @McIlroyRory on winning the @TheMasters and completing the Grand Slam.. very cool sharing the green with you in that moment…

Thank you Team
