Justin Rose withdraws from event after Masters defeat as statement released
Justin Rose withdrew from the Truist Championship over the weekend after falling ill. The Englishman had a rough time at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, finishing the first two rounds at the bottom of the leaderboard with seven-over. The former US Open champ managed an even 70 on Thursday but took a tumble in the standings after a less than stellar Friday. His scorecard for Friday included four birdies, five pars, seven bogeys, and two double bogeys by the afternoon's end. Rose then took to social media to express his regret over his performance and to announce his withdrawal from the tournament. The PGA Tour Communications team broke the news of his withdrawal with a tweet: "Justin Rose WD prior to the start of the third round of the Truist Championship (illness)." Rose responded to their tweet, stating: "After becoming progressively ill over the past few days, I have made the unfortunate decision to withdraw from the @TruistChamp. "I am not in a state to complete, and it's best for me to focus on a quick recovery prior to next week. Thanks to all the fans in Philly for the love this week. It's a special place to me and I'm sorry it wasn't a better week!". With the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow just around the corner, Rose is concentrating on getting back to full health before the event kicks off on Thursday. It's been a tumultuous few weeks for Rose, who valiantly fought back to enter a sudden-death play-off at the Masters, but ultimately saw victory snatched away by Rory McIlroy. Reflecting on his feelings after that loss, he shared with The Telegraph: "Disappointment is a natural part of competitive sport. You pour your heart and soul into preparation, navigate the pressures of a tournament and sometimes, despite your best efforts, it doesn't go your way. "But even in those moments, there are always positives: the incredible atmosphere, the unwavering support and the knowledge that you competed at the highest level against the world's best players. And then there's Rory. Watching him lift that trophy, completing his career grand slam, was very special. His journey has been an inspiration to so many – his resilience, dedication and sheer talent are undeniable."

Shane Lowry slips in Philadelphia allowing Sepp Straka to take the title
The pair, Ryder Cup colleagues in 2023, had shared the lead at 14-under heading into the final round over the Wissahickon Course at Flourtown, and continued to fight it out for top spot. Irishman Lowry, though, saw his hopes fade over the closing holes, with a bogey at the par-three 16th followed by another after a three-putt from 20 feet on the last – where a birdie could have seen him into a play-off. Austria's first PGA TOUR champ now has four! 🏆🇦🇹 Sepp Straka wins @TruistChamp at Philly Cricket Club. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 11, 2025 Straka was then left to tap in from four feet for par, sealing a fourth PGA Tour title and his second this year, having also won the American Express Championship in January. The 32-year-old Austrian had an eagle, three birdies and three bogeys all in his final round of 68, finishing on 16-under. 'I hit a lot of really good shots and made a lot of mistakes (but) I hung in there,' Straka said afterwards to host broadcaster CBS. 'I had a two-shot lead and made two bogeys on the next two holes to lose it, but I kept the same attitude and mentality throughout the round.' Shane Lowry congratulates Sepp Straka after a heartbreaking finish. — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) May 11, 2025 Lowry, the 2019 Open champion, finished as he had started the day after a final-round 70 left him in a tie for second place with American Justin Thomas, who recovered ground with a three-under-par 67. England's Tommy Fleetwood was in a group at 12-under for a share of fourth place alongside Patrick Cantlay and Jacob Bridgeman after he hit a fine 65. Masters champion Rory McIlroy finished in tied-seventh after a final round of 68 to end two-under. McIlroy, who had won the Truist Championship last year, feels he can head to next week's US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow with the burden somewhat lifted following his long-awaited triumph at Augusta. 🗣️ "I'm going there a touch more relaxed" Rory McIlroy looks ahead to next week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow 🏌️ — Sky Sports Golf (@SkySportsGolf) May 11, 2025 'It (expectation) does feel lighter,' McIlroy told broadcasters after his closing round. 'I am going there after winning my first major in a decade. 'With where that puts me in the argument of some of the best players ever, it is very, very cool. I'm not going there saying 'I don't care' but it is more relaxed. 'I am excited to get there. I feel my game is in good shape.'
