Justin Rose played one of the best rounds of his career, and it wasn't quite enough to deny Rory McIlroy his long-sought title at the Masters.

After a thrilling and at times gut-wrenching final round of the 2025 Masters, 72 holes was not enough to determine a champion. Justin Rose posted 11 under in the clubhouse with a scintillating Sunday 66 and watched as Rory McIlroy came back to him down the stretch, with a bogey on No. 18 resulting in a tie at the top.

"I gave it everything..." Rose wrote. "Congratulations (Rory McIlroy) on winning the (The Masters) and completing the Grand Slam.. very cool sharing the green with you in that moment… Thank you Team [Rose] as always for all the support during the week… We go again."
