Justin Rose wins AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am to end four-year title droughtÂ
Justin Rose registered a three-shot victory over Brandon Todd and Bradon Wo at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Monday (February 6).
Rose finished the final round with a scoring deficit of six to claim the 11th trophy of his career. American golfers Brandon Todd and Brandon Wu tied up in second position with a score deficit of 15.
Justin Rose made five birdies, a bogey on the first hole, and an eagle to finish at 66 on Monday.
With the win, the English golfer ended his four-year title drought and received an invitation to the Masters, which is scheduled to take place in April. Not only that, but it also helped him jump from the 71st to the 35th position in the world rankings.
Justin Rose confessed that he worked a bit harder for the tournament, learning from his mistakes. During the press conference, Rose said:
"Sometimes, when you're trending [the wrong way] you kind of try a little too hard. I think the format this week, playing with amateurs, kind of just mellowed me out to the point where I let it happen. I let my good golf come forward. It's obviously a learning lesson in that."
Rose became the oldest golfer after Phil Mickelson to win at Pebble Beach. He is now looking forward to Augusta's match in April
"Augusta's definitely been a big part of being on my mind. I thought the simple way to approach it was try to play my way into the top 50 in the world ... claw my way up the world rankings and make it that way."
He added:
"Obviously, this is a better way to make it by winning a tournament. So yeah, big relief from that point of view."
Rain, wind, and weather highly impacted the match that was scheduled to be completed on Sunday. However, heavy storms and rainfall delayed the tournament's third round, which concluded on Sunday. However, the PGA Tour player endured everything to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
