Justin Rose, 45, established a new 36-hole tournament record at the Farmers Insurance Open, reaching 17-under par to take a four-stroke lead at Torrey Pines. Following a 10-under 62 on the North Course, Rose carded a 7-under 65 on the South Course to secure his advantage heading into the weekend.
Rose Continues Career Resurgence
The Englishman's performance follows a period of high-level consistency, including a runner-up finish at the 2024 Open Championship and a victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship last August. Rose, a former winner at Torrey Pines in 2019, returned to the world top 10 this year after a strong Ryder Cup performance.

Brooks Koepka: In his return to the TOUR, the five-time major champion shot a 4-under 68 on Friday to make the cut on the number at 3-under par.
