The 44-year-old Englishman lost a playoff to Rory McIlroy, unable to match Rory McIlroy’s birdie at the first hole of sudden death.<\/p>\n

It was the second time that Rose has fallen in a playoff at Augusta, where he lost to Sergio Garcia in 2017.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it hurts,” admitted Rose, who captured his only major title at the US Open in 2013 but was runner-up at The Open Championship at Troon last year after qualifying to get into the field.<\/p>\n

That performance, and this week, have Rose believing that even in his 40s he can still add to a resume that includes a spell atop the world rankings and Olympic gold at Rio in 2016.<\/p>\n

“Definitely I’m proud of myself,” Rose said after posting a six-under final round of 66. “I played great golf today.”<\/p>\n

And Rose said he would use this latest near miss to spur him in what he has called the Indian Summer of his career.<\/p>\n

“I think I already kicked on in my career when I finished second to Sergio here. But then played some of the best golf of my career, got to world number one.<\/p>\n

“You can’t skip through a career without a little bit of heartache,” he said. “It’s not going to happen. If you’re willing to lift the big championships, you’ve to put yourself on the line.”<\/p>\n

That’s sudden death<\/p>\n

After two birdies and two bogeys in the first five holes on Sunday, Rose — who led after both the first and second rounds — found his groove with birdies at the seventh and eighth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Augusta (United States) (AFP) \u2013 <\/span> Justin Rose says he produced some of the finest golf of his career at the 89th Masters, but even with a 10-birdie final round, he didn’t leave Augusta National with a green jacket. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
