Justin Rose lingered on a missed opportunity at the 2026 Masters, having led by two strokes early in the final round before Amen Corner unraveled his charge. A birdie run through nine holes put him four under, but back‑to‑back bogeys at 11 and 12 and a three‑putt at 13 dropped him to a share of third at 10‑under, two shots behind champion Rory McIlroy.

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, a two‑time champion, finished runner‑up on 11‑under after posting a flawless 68 on Sunday, becoming the only player to avoid a bogey all weekend. He praised his steadiness despite a shaky Friday, noting the soft greens punished mistakes on the back nine. Scheffler’s effort kept him in contention but fell short of the title.

Tyrrell Hatton, representing LIV Golf, vaulted into a share of third with a six‑under 66, sparked by an eagle on the seventh and four consecutive birdies from 13 to 16. The 34‑year‑old said thoughts of his newborn daughter fueled his back‑nine push, securing a spot in next year’s field. The final leaderboard left Rory McIlroy on top, Rose and Hatton tied for third.
