Masters 2025: Justin Rose keeps the advantage after a solid second round in Augusta National

Rose put together a stellar career, in which he got 25 professional victories, he overcome the world rankings and the success of the Ryder Cup led – but fell in a agonizing way to Augusta on several occasions.

Without a tournament victory from February 2023 and a catalog of missed cuts since then, few would have supported roses to be in such a strong position in the phase halfway.

Finding consistency in recent seasons has been difficult.

But, as he did when he came through the qualifications to end up second in the open championship last year, Rose has shown again to Augusta National who maintains hunger and heart to challenge the greatest prizes.

It is a testimony of its quality, experience and nous around one of the most test courses of the golf that goes on the weekend with a possibility of victory combat.

“I think my good is good. I feel like I was showing much more quality this year in my game than he has done in the last two years,” said Rose.

Rose was the leader during the night after a majestic 65 opening in which he threatened to challenge the course record of 63.

Not being able to backup the strong beginnings in the iconic headquarters was a common theme for the former number one in the world.

The rose pitter was red red on the opening day, guiding the blows earned on the green with a substantial margin and allowing him to open an advantage of three shots.

From Tee to Green he was not always so precise, however, and this continued on Friday while his short game helped to keep him in front of the chase package.

Rose has secured birds the second, eighth, 12th and 16th hole, with his wedge that came to his rescue the fourth part-tree-to having sciato his shirt and fell to 55 yard in the green.

“It was a decent day. My wedge kept me in a good place,” he added.
