Justin Rose Takes Commanding Lead at Farmers Insurance Open

Justin Rose is well-positioned to clinch his 13th PGA Tour title, holding a six-shot lead after the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

Record Score in Sight

With a remarkable performance, Rose recorded a four-under 68, bringing his overall score to 21 under for the tournament. This puts him just a stroke away from the record winning score of 22 under set by Tiger Woods in 1999 and George Burns in 1987. Achieving two under par in the final round will secure Rose the record.

Challengers Trailing Behind

Coming in second is Joel Dahmen at 15 under, who matched Rose’s Saturday performance. Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune and South Korea’s Si Woo Kim are tied for third at 13 under, trailing the leader by eight shots. Rose has demonstrated consistency at this tournament, having previously won with a score of 21 under in 2019.

Other Tournament Highlights

A standout performance of the day came from Germany’s Stephan Jaeger, whose impressive seven-under 65 propelled him 39 places up the leaderboard to tie for sixth at 11 under. In contrast, Brooks Koepka, playing his first event since returning from LIV Golf, finished the third round tied for 61st at two under.

All eyes will be on Rose during the final round as he seeks to secure his second title at Torrey Pines and continue his impressive success on the PGA Tour, following victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the FedEx St. Jude Championship within the last year.
