Alongside the gem prize – – his eleventh on the PGA Visit, 23rd around the world – – and the $1.62 million award comes to a solicitation to the Experts. Rose has been qualified for each significant dating to St. Andrews in 2010, a streak he would have rather not finished.
“Augusta’s been a major piece of being at the forefront of my thoughts,” Rose said in the wake of shutting with a 6-under 66 in cool yet flawless circumstances at Rock Oceanside. “I figured the basic method for moving toward it was to attempt to play my direction into the main 50 on the planet … paw my direction up the world rankings and make it that way.
“This,” he said, tapping the precious stone on a table close to him, “is a superior method for making it by winning a competition. No doubt enormous help starting there of view.”
The breeze deferred competition constrained a Monday finish, and Rose had marked himself to a 2-shot lead Sunday night with a falcon birdie-standard stretch along the sea.
And afterward, he conveyed a killer blow right on time to upwards of twelve players who were inside 3 shots of the lead at different focuses on the course.
After a decent two-putt standard on the tenth to continue his round, Rose holed a 25-foot birdie putt on the eleventh, a 20-foot birdie putt on the thirteenth and afterward hit a wedge to the back rack on the standard 5 fourteenth to 8 feet for a third birdie.
From that point, it was tied in with leaving nothing to chance and absorbing the perspectives.
For all the climate this week – – and it was everything, constantly – – the last three hours highlighted a staggering blue sky and large surf, with waves colliding with the stones and adding to a view that as of now is among the best in golf.
Rose completed 3 shots clear of Brendon Todd (65) and Brandon Wu (66).

The back nine, so troublesome in the last hours Sunday night, was not a danger Monday morning. The breeze was light and coming from the other way, on the off chance that anything was at the players’ backs rather than into them.
The weather conditions assumed a major part the entire week, and nobody helped very much like Rose.
He was 6 shots out of the lead and going no place, confronting the most grounded breeze of the week on the Shore Course at Monterey Landmass, when he hit 5-wood into the standard 3 10th to 3 feet. Before he could stamp his ball, the breeze blew it nearly 4 feet farther away.
That was enough for authorities to end play – – the 10th and fifteenth greens at Monterey Promontory were the issues – – on every one of the three courses in the pivot. Rose returned Sunday morning and made what then was a 7-foot birdie putt.
What might have been the chances of him winning assuming golf balls – – his and others – – were not blowing around by then?
“It harms them significantly. Better believe it, that was a break,” Rose said. “I surmise on the off chance that you are over here long enough on visit, periodically you get a decent break. So that was a decent one.”
He played those last 10 openings in 6 under for a 65 to start to lead the pack, and afterward a critical stretch Sunday night gave him a pad. Rose took it from that point, an expert class with few days of iron play and extraordinary putting.
Denny McCarthy was 2 shots behind whenever play continued and had birdie chances on the sixteenth and seventeenth that he was unable to change over. He ended up with a 64 and completed 4 shots behind, alongside Keith Mitchell (68) and Peter Malnati (69).
This seven-day stretch of weather conditions was more about wind than a downpour, despite the fact that Stone offered a tad bit of everything. At a certain point on Sunday, there was downpour, wind, hail, and daylight, all inside a one-hour window.
That was every one of the ancient histories when Rose got done cheerfully as brilliant as the sun.
“Simply that stroll up 18, to have the option to construct somewhat of a lead, to sort of appreciate it, was an extremely unique second,” he said. “Think when you’re a piece starved for success too, the way that it came today on a climate day as we had and at a setting that we had today was only worth hanging tight for.”
