MASTERS TOURNAMENT


April 13, 2014


Justin Rose


AUGUSTA, GEORGIA

JUSTIN ROSE:  Again I played well in the middle of the week.  I played as good as anybody in the field.  And today was just‑‑ I felt like the course was definitely playing tricky.  Pins on 3 and 4 were on tough spots.  And I was on the wrong side of them.  And left myselfin really quick ‑‑ the greens are so quick from the spots I left myself in, it kind of got in the back of my head for the rest of the round.
I left a number of putts from that moment short.  Although I really felt like a holed out well from three or four feet.  I just seemed to leave myself a lot of 8, 10‑footers.  And when you've got eight, ten feet with about a foot of break, it's not that easy to make all those.
But, yeah, I just didn't really get a lot out of today.  I'm disappointed with that.

Q.  (Inaudible.)
JUSTIN ROSE:  Yeah, Graeme, other than yesterday looked a little shaky.  The first two rounds were incredible, and then to go out and play as well as he has today‑‑ to go out at 3‑under par today was a really good front nine.  I think Jordan was hanging with him for a while, but those two were really a good performance in the last group.

Q.  You'll be defending the next Major?
JUSTIN ROSE:  Yeah.

Q.  Have you any thought about that and how much are you aware of or know Pinehurst?
JUSTIN ROSE:  I don't know Pinehurst at all.  So definitely I'll get some prep going and going to spend a week there before the tournament and really get to know the golf course.
I'm looking forward to that, I'm going to really work hard from now until then so I keep my hand on the job.

Q.  How much did you spend preparation‑wise for Merion, before you got there?
JUSTIN ROSE:  I spent three days the week before the tournament and really got to know the course and conditions when there was nobody around.  I could spend hours and hours out there really learning the nuances of it.  And I think Pinehurst will be similar, especially with the short game shots.
