Justin Rose delivers a Tiger-like performance at Torrey Pines. He leads by 6 shots
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Justin Rose delivered a performance at Torrey Pines that Tiger Woods could appreciate, stretching his lead to as many as eight shots Saturday until a few late mistakes led to a 4-under 68 for a six-stroke lead in the Farmers Insurance Open.
Rose, who won at Torrey in 2019, started the third round with a four-shot lead and quickly pulled away with a brilliant stretch of three holes on the front nine of the South course.
He hit pitching wedge to a back pin on the par-5 fifth hole to 6 feet.
