Justin Rose has delivered a stunning performance at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, setting new scoring records after the first three rounds. With rounds of 62, 65, and 68, Rose has broken both the 36-hole and 54-hole scoring records, establishing a commanding six-shot lead heading into the final day.
Dominating the Torrey Pines South Course
The English golfer has been in exceptional form on the challenging Par-72 Torrey Pines South Course, known for its demanding layout and coastal winds. Rose’s ability to navigate the course with precision and consistency has set him apart from the field this week.
Record-Breaking Rounds and What Lies Ahead
After posting a 62 in the opening round, Rose followed up with a 65 to shatter the 36-hole record. His third round 68 extended his lead and broke the 54-hole scoring record as well. If he manages to shoot under par in the final round, he will also claim the 72-hole scoring record, which he currently holds.
This remarkable achievement places Rose among the elite performers in the history of the PGA Tour. His steady play and experience could prove decisive as he aims to secure another title at one of the tour’s most prestigious events.
