Justin Rose was in the last pairing of Sunday’s final round of the Masters with eventual winner Jordan Spieth. With the 2013 U.S. Open under his belt, Rose knows what it feels like to win a major championship.
I’m sure the 34-year-old would like to add a green jacket to his small, yet prestigious, collection, one day.
And it goes without saying his wife wants that as well.
The former Kate Phillips and Rose have been together for over 15 years, married for a little over half of them.
