Justin Rose Back In Major Hunt After Stunning 65 To Lead The Masters
The Englishman, who was T2nd nine months ago at The Open, leads the way at Augusta National after round one of the 2025 Masters
www.golfmonthly.comShort answer: Justin Rose has not won the Masters as of the latest updates in 2026.
Context and latest details:
- In 2025, Rose came very close, reaching a playoff with Rory McIlroy at Augusta but was defeated, denying him the green jacket for a second time in that era. This continued a pattern where Rose has been a perennial near-miss at Augusta, including a playoff loss in 2017 against Sergio Garcia.[4][7]
- In 2026, reports suggest he was in contention and briefly led or co-led during rounds at Augusta but ultimately did not win the Masters that year either, with Rory McIlroy securing the title again in the latest coverage.[1][9]
Notes:
- Rose’s major title remains the 2013 U.S. Open, which is his only major championship to date.[2]
- He has enjoyed multiple high finishes at the Masters, including several runner-up showings, but a Masters victory has remained elusive through at least 2026.[8][2]
