Justin Rose sets record pace for 4-shot lead in Farmers Insurance Open

Justin Rose kept up the heat Friday in the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open, shooting 7-under 65 on the South Course at Torrey Pines to set the 36-hole tournament record and take a four-shot lead into the weekend.

Rose has a two-round total of 127. That’s two strokes better than the record Rose shared with Tom Lehman (2005) and Lennie Clements (1996). Rose did it in 2019 when he won the Farmers. Rose finished birdie-birdie on the South Course, completing a round that began with a strong start.
