Last month, Justin Rose sat on the podium in front of the 2025 open championship at Royal Portrush and was asked to seek the meaning of his late career resurrections and take into account the peaks, especially T2 in 2024 Loss of Play off to Rory Mcilroy in the masters of 2025.
The 45-year-old took a minute to meditate on the idea of weighing pride to revive his game against frustration not to take it in line in what could be his last, best chances. For him, there were no doubt what would those second place conclusions mean.
“It was a strange one because I really don’t feel like I had to overcome it because I didn’t necessarily feel destroyed by this,” Rose said about the loss of his masters that day in Royal Portrush. “Do you know what I mean? I felt like playing well. I felt like I could leave with my head kept up. So from that point of view, I really didn’t feel like there was a lot of luggage or too much to overcome. … I’m ready to continue for sure because the second is second place, is it not a hard loss, but I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m sure I’m Sure that I am sure I am sure I am becoming more evidence that I do right, I am still competitive and can still bring, and I am encouraged.
Rose has referred to this moment in his career, as the Sun places in a two-decade-plus professional career, built on ruthless competitive gray, like his Indian wine. It is a period after his game received a diving. This coincided with the show and desire of Liv Golf to secure as many major champions as possible. Rose was on their list, but while his friends and his European friends Ryder Cup Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Paul Casey and Henrik Stenson all took Parachute Golden to play in the banned league, Rosa chose another path. He chose to dig him from dirt, seeing PGA Tour as his path in large championships if he takes his game properly.
Rose withdrew and won 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach pro-am. He put himself in quarrel at the PGA 2024 championship and then withdrew from those endings of the-up-up race in Troon and Augusta National. The sun really has excelled in Rose during its late career renaissance. While a victory had not yet materialized since Pebble, Rose’s message remained unchanged.
His best is still very good.
Justin Rose highlights from FedEx St. Jewish
Rose arrived at this week’s championship FedEx St. Jude at TPC Southwind, FedEx Cup’s first playing match, seeking to cement his place in the top 30 places to return to the tournament for the first time since 2019. Rose opened with a 64 bubble and followed with rounds of 66 and 67 to enter Sunday with a good friend Tommy Fleet.
Sunday was another possibility for Rose to prove that his essential faith – even at the age of 45, can still fight with him and beat the best in the world – is not a lie he says to himself in the range, but a truth that fills his car and helps him disrupt the obstacles that have only stumbled upon his age.
Rose departed for a scratched start in the last round of Sunday, and when he reached the 14th hole, three shots after Fleetwood in search of the moment. With the tip on the right side of the green and with water on the right, Rose made the bold choice to light the flag and try to start his round, hoping to ensure that the memphis would not fall into the nearby category. Rose drew six iron and gripped it to 15 meters. He rolled into birds and continued to Birdie 15, 16 and 17, with the latter allowing him to overcome Fleetwood and Tie Jj Spaun, who posted 16 under. Rose Parred 18 to set an unexpected-death Play off with spaun.
“It’s a strange balance of patience because of course if you try hard in anything in life, it doesn’t seem to happen, so you still have to let it come to you,” Rose said about his finished bird bargon in the regulation. “But being dedicated, but I think being brave, trying to be brave, I think it’s it-especially in the 14th hole, I hit a 6-iron hold on that right-hand stake. That was a beautiful shot, I think, to get it and pull it out.”
Rose and spaun both of the first Play off hole and traded second birds in the second. After a new cup was cut in the 18th hole, the duo played it for the third time. Spaun hit his approach at seven meters, and Rose responded by knocking at 11 meters. Rose calmly stood on his bird’s appearance, put his shirt in the armpit – staying in a meticulous process was essential for his resurrection – and poured it into his heart, giving a small fist pump while the spaun set to tie. The 2025 Open Open champion had been red hot with putter all over Sunday, but his bird attempt slipped from the hole, and Justin Rose, in 45 years, delivered a message he has long believed while his Indian wine has continued.
“I always knew I had it,” Rose Damon Hack told NBC after victory. “I get nervous with the best of them. I feel nervous sometimes. But I know when it matters, I still got it. A good golf run.
After the victory, the 12th of his career in PGA Tour, Rose was naturally asked about his age, his game, how he did and how long he can still do it. The 2013 Open Open champion, which has had golf gods, some other degrees out of his hands, smiled and thought about the warmth of the season, his career is currently enjoying. The rise has melted, and the irrational warm temperatures show no signs of withdrawal while the rose continues to beat against the sun.
“I still feel like there’s that golden summer of my career available to me,” Rose said. “This is what I have been looking for for it. Moments how to approach Troon and then obviously approaching Augusta they are the signals that it is possible. This is another, really, really important signal I am on the right track with my game, and in fact, maybe even getting a little better at the moment. But I can’t be, I can’t think that, as I can’t make it important times for me to be in time, when I was when I was probably 2018 no.
“I’ve been able to do that. I’ve shown good signs, I think. But profit is winning. I think that trying for yourself, even though I’m approaching and feeling well in quarrel, getting the line is still difficult, and I have undoubtedly won, like, twice in six years now, but that I felt good about yourself.
He has felt that for the best two years now. With a finished stream in Memfis, Golf finally heard what Justin Rose has believed.
