Augusta, Georgia -Oh, how it could be a different week.
Seven days ago, during the first round of the opening of Valero Texas, Justin Rose hit a cold blood sweat In the fourth hole in TPC San Antonio, which led to a six -day double ghost between 72.
He did not approach anything like this on Thursday in Augusta National.
Rose turned on a brilliant tour, where eight birds were made on its way to 7-enner 65. His only defect came to the performance card in 18th after he led the right of the corridor and in the trees. But unlike this lost fire, Rose was requested throughout the day.
“Today I made the golf course in my mind, small small goals, small goals. This is the way I approached today, and this will be the approach tomorrow and the approach on Saturday and the approach on Sunday,” Rose explained.
“So really try to be clear there. Try really to make sure that I didn’t hit a snapshot until I was completely committed. This is the type of things that we say a lot, and they are very boring to hear and photograph it, but in the end, there is no other way to do it. Hit the shots.”
Rose got the blackboard early and often.
It was made three consecutive cutters directly from the gate, and made birds in the first, second and third holes. On these famous white leaders throughout Ugusta National, the beneficiaries saw the name Rose Qamu to the top. He was barely lunch at the time of lunch before his name stands above the rest. Everyone realized that Rose was ready to compete again.
“ObIously Deighted to Get of FF to Such A Great Start, and that Start Definitely, It Happy Out of the Gates. Certainly the First Hole, which is definitely one of the trickier HOLES on the Golf Course, to Knock in a nice 25-FOOTER Download Yourself INTO The Master, and THEN 2 and 3 Are Birdie Opportunities.
“I found myself in some troubles early. No. 5 was so calmly calmly calmly, and in the middle of the nine noon, I felt that there were moments of a few moments in which momentum could change. But really good at 14 and 15 to keep the round really hot. Just.
“It was a truly good golf game on a golf course. It was a strict test. I think that if you look at the leading painting in general, not many low degrees there. Many quality shots, and I was happy with the way you played.”
The English has two of the Master’s completion, both of whom came within three years in 2015 and 2017. In the first place, he lost to Jordan Sbeith, who was unprecedented, who won the wires to the wire. Then, Rose lost to Sergio Garcia in a separate match.
But 2013 We are open The winner has four best 10 times in Ugusta in his career. Better than that, it has occupied the first match or joint bullets five times now, which is the most ever. However, this sign comes with the defect. Rose led or led her after eight rounds in the Master, more than any player without winning.
His last time came in 2021, when he launched 65 years during the opening round of the tournament. Then Rose was dispersed away, and shot 72-72-74 at 54 final openings to finish the seventh.
“This is a great opportunity for me, don’t press,” said Rose.
“I see everything as upside down now. I think my CV has been well divided. There are some great stark gaps. It is clear that three main championships I haven’t won. Perhaps the players’ championship too. So, there are a lot of opportunities to do these things that I have not done before, but the main headlines are somewhat in place.
