Rose will be a force on Sunday, no matter how the board settles on Saturday. He’s the 14th-ranked player in the world for a reason, and he’s got loads of major experience. Rose won the U.S. Open in 2013, and he’s finished top-five at every other leg of the career grand slam. Rose plays a consistent, level-headed game and isn’t likely to decline much on Sunday.
He started his round at 1-under on Saturday and remained at that score after the front nine. But upon making the turn, Rose made a run. He birdied Augusta National’s 12th, 13th, 15th, 17th, and 18th holes to bring himself to 5 strokes under par for the championship. Along with Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler, and a few other players, he’s in prime position to go after Hoffman throughout the day on Sunday.
