Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood were in contention entering the final day of The Masters, but eventually came up short against Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy successfully defended his title at Augusta National, securing a one-shot victory over his American rival Scottie Scheffler.

But right behind him were McIlroy’s European Ryder Cup teammates Rose and Tyrrell Hatton, who finished joint third alongside American duo Russell Henley and Cameron Young.

Fleetwood, however, endured a very disappointing four-over 76 on Masters Sunday, which saw him plummet to T33.

And such performances have also ensured significant change in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), with Rose now overtaking Fleetwood.

Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood’s new rankings after The Masters

Despite winning The Masters, Rory McIlroy still finds himself second in the rankings behind world number one Scheffler.

And there is also no change for Young in third place, but Rose is the new world number four, rising five places from the previous week.

His countryman Fleetwood has dropped one spot to fifth, while Henley has climbed six places to sixth.

Fitzpatrick has also suffered a drop of one to seventh, with Collin Morikawa suffering the same fate from seventh to eighth.

His countryman Xander Schauffele is up from 10th to ninth, but J.J. Spaun has dropped from fifth down to 10th.

Only two other changes in the top 20 have taken place, with Robert MacIntyre falling from eighth to 12th, and Patrick Reed climbing from 23rd to 20th.

Tommy Fleetwood says what was ‘dreadful’ about his week at The Masters Tommy Fleetwood was in the mix at The Masters going into the weekend, but a disappointing closing two rounds saw him fall way back. Fleetwood went 73-76 on the weekend to finish four over par in the tournament. That’s massively disappointing for the Tour Championship winner, who looks to take the next step in his career after winning for the first time on the PGA Tour in 2025. He watched his playing partner, Tyrrell Hatton, dominate Augusta to throw himself in contention on Sunday, while he couldn’t get anything going. And after his round, the Englishman admitted something was “dreadful” with his game all week. Tommy Fleetwood says his scoring was ‘dreadful’ at The Masters Fleetwood was upset with his performance at The Masters. The usually positive 35-year-old was asked if he could take any positives from Augusta, and he struggled to find them. He said, “Just would look at it as motivation for things that need to be better. I was a long way from being good enough to contend this weekend. I hit the ball -- I struck the ball well for a lot of that 36 holes, but too many mistakes. Hit it in the wrong place too many times. Short game was awful and didn't putt the way I did in the first two rounds. “Just take from it there's stuff that I need to work on.” Fleetwood was then asked if he can take anything from watching Hatton’s round, and he responded, “Well, that's what you have to do if you're going to have a chance, and those guys -- Shane played great yesterday. The two guys that played with Shane played great yesterday. “Tyrrell played great today. Very happy for those guys. Obviously it's great to watch them doing so well. “But for me, just look at aspects of my game that are -- that were a long way off the mark. These events come around four times a year, and you have to be better if you're going to do better in them.” He continued, “My scoring this weekend was dreadful. Like I say, I hit the ball well for a lot of it. My long game wasn't the problem at all. You're going to hit bad shots at some point. I hit a handful of bad shots. But some errors hitting it in the wrong spots, and then yeah, just didn't have it at all. Yeah, that was that. “Tomorrow is a new day. Look, like I say, I have to now look at what I can do better, start working on that, and into the tournament straight away next week, get ready for that, hopefully play well, and then major season is started now. “The good stuff was how I started. I felt like I prepared really well this week and I started really well, was in contention for two days, so there's that bit to look on. So half was in the right place, half wasn't. Look at what you need to do better, the bad half, and take what was good in the first half.” What Tommy Fleetwood did poorly during his final round at The Masters During his final round 76, Fleetwood lost strokes everywhere except from off the tee. He looked completely out of sorts the minute he hit the fairway. But where he was particularly poor was around the greens. He lost 2.95 strokes to the field when off the green, as he failed to get up and down around Augusta’s terrifying greens. This wasn’t helped by his iron play. Fleetwood lost nearly a stroke on the approach, which put him out of position. That is something you can rarely recover from at this golf course. If there are holes in your game, Augusta will find them, and this historic course exposed plenty of problems for Fleetwood to fix moving forward in 2026.

Tyrrell Hatton climbs OWGR after LIV Golf disappointment at The Masters

The OWGR has experienced a major change this season, with LIV Golf finally finding some light at the end of the tunnel in their lengthy standoff.

It was confirmed earlier this year that the top 10 players and ties in each LIV tournament will receive ranking points.

But the majority of LIV players really had a week to forget at The Masters, with their blushes spared only by Hatton.

He has climbed eight places to 23rd in the OWGR after a superb week at Augusta, having been one of only five players to make the cut.

LIV Golf had 10 players at the major tournament at the start of the week, but that total was halved by Saturday.

On one of those players missing out, Bryson DeChambeau has fallen one spot to 25th, while Jon Rahm has dropped from 30th to 31st after finishing T38 at Augusta.

Sergio Garcia and Charl Schwartzel also made the cut but finished third last and last out of 54 respectively, while Dustin Johnson finished T33.

Joining DeChambeau in a week to forget were Bubba Watson, Cameron Smith, Tom McKibbin and Carlos Ortiz.
