Masters Near-Miss Leads to RBC Heritage Pull-Out
15 Apr
Summary
- Justin Rose withdrew from the RBC Heritage following his Masters performance.
- He lost the lead on the back nine of the Masters, finishing tied for third.
- Rose's most recent top-10 finish at Harbour Town was in 2004.
Golfer Justin Rose has withdrawn from the RBC Heritage, a signature event, following his performance at the Masters. Rose had been in contention at Augusta National but faltered on the back nine.
He ultimately finished tied for third, two shots behind winner Rory McIlroy. This Masters result was a "little stinger" for Rose, especially after losing in a playoff last year. His most recent top-10 finish at the RBC Heritage's venue, Harbour Town Golf Links, dates back to 2004.
Rose, who posted consistent rounds throughout the Masters, struggled on the back nine on Sunday. He was replaced in the RBC Heritage field by Michael Thorbjornsen. Rose's history at the RBC Heritage has not been particularly strong, with a 42nd place finish last year.
