Justin Rose: Play-off loss of Masters to Rory Mcilroy Hurts but without regret | Golf

Justin Rose insisted he had no “regret” after suffering a second loss of the agonizing masters play-off, but accepted his loss to Rory Mcilroy “Hurts”.

Eight years after being lost before Sergio Garcia in a play-off in Augusta National, Rose was collected by Mcilroy while the pair rejected the 18th-after earlier a four-shot dead deficit to play.

“It hurts,” said Rose, whose 10th Birdie of the day he played the 18th in the regulation had ended a great round, with six under 66.

“You will do about it, though? I think I have already started in my career when I finished second in Sergio here, playing some of my best career golf, I arrived at number one in the world.

“What do you decide to live. Do you know what I mean? It makes no sense to be very desperate for it and you see all the good things that put me in this situation.

“You can’t go through a career without a little heart pain. It won’t happen. If you are ready to set up big championships, you have to put yourself in line.

“You need to risk feeling this way to get the opposite. He underlines.

“For me, it is only about fulfilling my childhood dreams, indeed, giving everything I have received and without repentance.

“I think that’s what it’s all about me is just trying to look under every stone. To push myself as much as I can to be the best I can be, and I think that’s what is professional.”

Rose ‘willing to put into work’ in pursuit of dream

Rose, the winner of the 2013 Open Open, also completed the Xander Schauffle race in Open at Royal Troon last year and remains determined to compete at the highest level at the age of 44.

“It doesn’t get easier for sure,” Rose added. “I think as you go through your career, you think,” Oh, well. We hope the experience starts and some things get easier. “

“But no, I feel like I have to be more disciplined and make more sacrifices now than I’ve ever had. That, I would say, it’s what I’m trying to do. I’m ready to do that job.

“The reason I am willing to put on that job is for these occasions, these moments. A standing ovation at 18 when I finished, I took a moment, not knowing the result, but simply soaking it inside.

“This was definitely a beautiful moment because it was still a case of what it might be, what it might be, you are living the dream.

“As a day, I will not compete in this way in this tournament. So, for now, hard work is fully worth it, to get these small moments, they are very special.”

A small comfort for Rose is that his performance in Augusta has removed him in the automatic qualification sites for this year’s Ryder Cup in Bethpage, where Europe will aim to maintain trophy Rose and Mcilroy helped win in Rome in 2023.
