Brutal: Justin Rose Talking About How He Feels 'Tormented' Thinking About What Could Have Been After He's Lost The Last 2 Majors By A Combined 3 Shots

I think Justin Rose won a ton of people over on Sunday. He was the guy who went out and posted the number in the final round of the Masters. He was the one to go opposite Rory and we all know it's basically a split feeling on him. You're either a Rory guy or not. I've never seen or met a person who is indifferent when it comes to Rory. 

But there's more to it, just from the Rose side. He lost The Open by two shots back in July at Royal Troon. It was he same Open he went through qualifying to make. Then he put together another ridiculous four-round run that had him in contention the entire time. He was a shot back going into the final round and then Xander threw a 6-under Sunday. 

While he was getting ready for RBC Heritage he talked about being tormented but also this: 

First off, what the hell are we doing acting like it's a miracle that Justin Rose is even playing in a major? The dude is 44-years old. Phil won at Kiawah at 52. It's not some ridiculous thing to think Rose is going to win another major. No doubt it's hard as shit to do, but he's putting himself in contention. It's not like he's going out and missing cuts all the time. I do love the answer of playing for the moments, which he's had plenty. 

Now as for the what could have been? We're four shots away from talking about Justin Rose going for the career Grand Slam at Quail Hollow. Rose has sort of reached that everyone agrees his career is underrated but we're going to talk about him all the time level. He's not the best that we've seen, but he won a major, he has seven top-3 finishes at majors and he's a staple in the Ryder Cup. Take away the money and I'd feel tormented too.
