US EditionJustin Rose Delivers a Tiger-Like Performance at Torrey Pines, Leads by 6 Shots
- On Jan 31, 2026, Justin Rose held a six-shot lead at Torrey Pines after a 4-under 68 in the third round, building on an early four-shot advantage.
- Starting the round with a four-shot edge, Rose pulled away with a brilliant stretch on the front nine of the South course, executing pitching wedge and 7-wood approach shots to set up birdies.
- Joel Dahmen carded a 68 to sit alone in second despite conditional status, while Seamus Power fell out after three straight bogeys and Brooks Koepka posted a 73.
- No one at Torrey Pines has erased a lead larger than five shots, making a Sunday victory after Rose's second-largest 54-hole lead historically unlikely.
- Rose also has a sponsor exemption into the WM Phoenix Open next week, and he said last week his focus is on the 2027 Ryder Cup, making Sunday crucial for momentum.
