TROON, Scotland — Justin Rose needed a long putt for par on the 12th hole at Royal Troon to keep pace with Xander Schauffele. The 21-footer looked good and the crowd was ready to erupt. It caught the left side of the cup, though, and lipped out. Rose tossed his putter in the air, catching it on the way down. His British Open dream was dented, and Schauffele surged to the title. Rose's lone bogey of the day dropped him a shot behind Schauffele and two strokes back of then-leader Thriston Lawrence. The 43-year-old Englishman carrying the hopes of the country in search of a champion never caught up. Rose finished tied for second with Billy Horschel on 7-under overall, two shots behind Schauffele.
