Justin Rose reacts to another Masters near miss
Justin Rose said his latest run at the Masters was the "chance that got away" as he let slip a final-round lead and fell short of the Green Jacket once again.
The Englishman, a three-time runner-up at Augusta National, was unable to shed his 'nearly man' tag as he finished joint third at 10 under - two behind Rory McIlroy, who beat Rose in a play-off last year and successfully defended his title on Sunday.
Rose stormed through the front nine and led by two shots at the turn, but faltered at Amen Corner's 11th and 12th holes and was unable to recover.
The 45-year-old, who was aiming to become the oldest first-time Masters champion, said: "I was by no means free and clear and was nowhere close to having the job done, but I was right in position."
