Justin Rose admitted he was "choking back tears" as he walked off the 18th green at Royal Troon on Sunday having just secured what would turn out to be a T2 finish at The Open via a 72nd-hole birdie.
Rose began the final round two behind overnight leader Billy Horschel on three-under for the Championship and was in the hunt for the second Major trophy of his career to back up the 2013 US Open victory at Merion.
