Farmers Insurance Open Leaderboard And Live Report: Justin Rose Chasing Tournament Scoring Record At Torrey Pines
The Englishman carried a six-stroke lead into the final round at Torrey Pines and appears in no trouble whatsoever down the back nine of the South Course
Justin Rose is cruising towards a second Farmers Insurance Open title at Torrey Pines after opening up a six-stroke lead heading into Sunday's final round.
The 45-year-old, who lifted this trophy back in 2019, made the turn at the South Course a remarkable seven shots clear and appears destined to extend his record as the most successful Englishman of all time on the PGA Tour ahead of Nick Faldo.
Should he do so, Rose would clinch a 13th PGA Tour title - adding on to the 2013 US Open - and cement himself as one of the leading hopes for the four Majors later in the season.
Rose is at the 14th and findsa bunker with his first, before digging himself out of trouble by finding the green from the sand. It still leaves a long birdie putt, which heads left, but that'll be another par.
It's less certain for Hisatsune at the same hole, whose long birdie putt comes up way short. Can he stay solo second? He does and we move onto the 15th.
PAR FOR ROSE AT THE 13TH
Continuing on the 13th, Rose faces a 40-foot birdie putt, but that runs out of steam with barely two feet to go. He should still make his par as the Farmers Insurance Open scoring record remains firmly in his sights.
Hisatsume, meanwhile, makes a birdie to reduce the gap to six.
ROSE STROLLING ON
It's a glorious day in California, with short sleeves in order as the sun beams down - and none more so than for Justin Rose, who leads by seven on the par-5 13th.
His tee shot is left of the fairway, but his second is fine, settling on the right side of the fairway as his stroll in the Torrey Pines sun continues.

SHUFFLING OF THE PACK
It's a case of shuffling the pack for everyone behind Rose, and Pierceson Coody is the latest to join a group of players in T4 after a birdie at the 16th.
Soon after, Si Woo Kim makes a birdie at the 13th to move him level with Hisatsune in T2 at 16 under. Rose still leads by seven.
RECORD ON THE HORIZON FOR ROSE
Despite that rare bogey for Rose at the 12th, he's still on track to set the scoring record at the tournament. Rose is at 23 under, while the record is 22 under.

JUSTIN ROSE SLIPS AT THE 12TH
Finishing up on the 12th, Hisastune drains his putt to save par, before Rose, racing a 13-footer for par, narrowly misses right and that'll be his first bogey of the day.
TROUBLE AT THE 12TH FOR THE FINAL GROUP
At the 12th, Rose finds the rough left from his tee, and his approach leaves a chip onto the green. Playing partner Hisatsune, meanwhile, drives his tee shot right, and his second isn't much prettier, missing the green by a long way left. He has work to do to avoid slipping further back here. His third is much better, onto the green, but can he save par.
Before we find out, Dahmen bogeys to skip to -13 and T9.
KOEPKA CATCH-UP
One of the big stories heading into the tournament was the return of Brooks Koepka to PGA Tour action after four years with LIV Golf.
He's not troubling Rose, sitting in T53 at four-under with a handful of holes to play, but he'll probably take that as he eases his way back into life on the circuit. He'll also play in next week's WM Phoenix Open, which he's won twice.
HISATSUNE SLIP SEES ROSE EXTEND LEAD
The leader, meanwhile, is on the 11th green, seeking his fourth birdie in his last six holes.
Before that long putt, the man in second, Ryo Hisatsune, drops back to 16 under with a bogey, and Rose leads by eight.
Rose fumbles his chance with a poor putt, and now he has work to do to make par. He makes no mistake and the lead remains eight.
STARTS ON THE LINE FOR JOEL DAHMEN
With a lead of seven, it would take a minor miracle for anyone to trouble Justin Rose over the back nine, but it's interesting further down the leaderboard, too, not least for Joel Dahmen.
The popular American only has conditional PGA Tour status this season, meaning he needs as many starts as he can get. If he finishes solo second, he'll top the AON Swing 5 standings, all but guaranteeing starts at Signature Events the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational.
Even if he gets in the top five after next week's WM Phoenix Open, where he has a sponsor's exemption, he will book his place at those events.
He's currently eighth in the standings, so he needs a good back nine to give himself a strong chance. He's T4 on the 11th hole.
