After that fateful Sunday at Augusta, Rose, who is certain to challenge for more titles this year, has been hailed by many for the classy gesture he paid to Rory Mcilroy on the 18th green at Augusta.
At the age of 44, Rose is playing some of the golf of his life and ahead of this week’s RBC Heritage in South Carolina, the Englishman said he was hungry to keep fighting, despite having found himself in this agonising situation before – finishing as a runner-up at The Masters three times during his distinguished career.
