"SAN DIEGO -- Justin Rose delivered a performance Saturday at Torrey Pines that Tiger Woods could appreciate, stretching his lead to as many as eight shots 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 a few loose swings early on the back to give Séamus Power and Joel Dahmen some hope. Coming off two straight bogeys, he pulled his 3-woods on the par-5 13th into the rough well below the green. Able to see only the top of the flag, he pitched it out and it rolled with proper pace to tap-in range for birdie."
Justin Rose extended his lead at the Farmers Insurance Open with a 4-under 68, reaching 21-under 195 through 54 holes. Rose produced a brilliant stretch on the front nine, converting birdie opportunities on holes 5, 6 and 7 to pull well clear. A few loose swings on the back nine allowed Séamus Power and Joel Dahmen brief hope, but Rose recovered with a timely pitch-and-roll birdie at the par-5 13th. Rose’s 54-hole advantage was the tournament’s second-largest, trailing only Tiger Woods’ eight-shot cushion in 2008.
