Justin Rose Opens McLaren Club Era in 65th

Justin Rose's first tournament with McLaren-branded clubs ended with more scrutiny than momentum, as the former major champion tied for 65th at the Cadillac Championship on two over par. Rose did find something late, closing with a four-under 68 at Doral. That finish gave the week a cleaner final note, but it did not change the broader shape of the result: his new equipment setup drew attention, while his scorecard stayed buried down the board.

The tournament belonged to Cameron Young, who controlled the week and won by six shots over Scottie Scheffler. Against that backdrop, Rose's debut with the McLaren clubs felt less like a statement and more like an early data point in a high-profile experiment. The context matters because Rose is not an anonymous player testing a new bag in the background.
