Rose ends drought with Australian Masters win
Justin Rose of England ended his four-year winless streak with a 1-over 73 Sunday to capture the Australian Masters by two strokes.
Rose survived a triple-bogey at the par-5 seventh hole and finished with a 12-under 276 total to claim the $207,000 prize in his first win since the 2002 British Masters.
He held off challenges by Australians Richard Green, the 2004 champion who shot a 69, and Greg Chalmers (73). Amateur Aaron Pike, who led during the first two rounds, shot 74 and finished fourth.
