The 2025 Masters concluded with Rory McIlroy claiming victory, marking a career grand slam, while Justin Rose faced disappointment despite a strong performance. Rose's final round of 66 was almost a historic win, distancing himself yet again from ultimate success. Despite the heartbreak, Rose graciously congratulated McIlroy, understanding the significance of the moment. He has now become a prominent part of Masters history himself, having consistently challenged for the title and earning a reputation as a formidable competitor. This tournament not only highlighted McIlroy's achievements but also Rose's remarkable journey in the sport.
Rose, the antagonist in Rory's story, scored 65, 71, 75, 66... a bogey away from being the greatest round I've ever played. Sometimes good just isn't good enough.
It will be impossible to tell the history of the Masters without mentioning him... Rose understood. We saw part of history today, he said.
He was the first to hug McIlroy close after he made the winning putt... I was glad I was here on this green to witness you win the career grand slam.
Rose has now written himself into the story of the tournament, having finished runner-up three times and lost two playoffs.
