RIO DE JANEIRO — Justin Rose made his son cry.
In the best possible way.
Rose was supposed to be in the United Kingdom on Monday to watch a soccer match with his son, Leo. Instead, he missed his flight Sunday night after winning the gold medal in a thrilling duel with Henrik Stenson as golf returned to the Olympics for the first time in 112 years. The historic feat at the Olympic Golf Course required extra celebration and media responsibilities, so the man playing for Great Britain had to stay around a little longer.
Thus, he had to break the news to his son.
