Justin Rose shot a second-round 69 at the Masters Tournament, reaching five under par through 36 holes after birdieing the ninth, tenth and 11th holes. The 45-year-old Englishman navigated what some call a troublesome stretch at Augusta National with three birdies in nine shots. Rose remains in pursuit of his first green jacket.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Justin Rose birdied the par-4 ninth, par-4 tenth and par-4 11th holes on Friday, playing the demanding stretch in nine shots during his second-round 69. Three under par on the par-72 layout, Rose stands at five under overall entering the weekend, placing him in contention once more at Augusta National. Last year, he lost to Rory McIlroy in a playoff after leading late into Sunday.
