AUGUSTA, Ga. — Justin Rose almost got in the way of golf history on Sunday afternoon.
But to the delight of perhaps just about everyone watching, both at Augusta National Golf Club and around the world, he failed.
Rose, after a very makable putt went just past the cup on the 18th green, could only watch as Rory McIlroy sank his putt to win the Masters on Sunday. That set off an all-time celebration on the green and made McIlroy just the sixth person to complete the career grand slam in golf history.
