Featured Tee Time for Round 3

This week’s tournament spotlight is certainly on Brooks Koepka, who has returned to the PGA Tour after his stint with LIV Golf. Having shot rounds of 73-68, Koepka qualified for the weekend at three under par. However, to contend for the title, he faces a daunting challenge, trailing leader Justin Rose by a staggering 14 shots.

Current Rankings:

  • Leader: Justin Rose (-17)
  • Second Place: Seamus Power (-13)

Rose has displayed exceptional form thus far, hitting rounds of 62-65 to maintain his position at the top of the leaderboard. Should he claim victory, it would mark the 13th win of his PGA Tour career and add another Farmers Insurance title to his achievement list after triumphing in 2019.

What to Watch For

Justin Rose will tee off for the third round alongside Seamus Power and Joel Dahmen, both sitting at -11. The final group is scheduled to start at 1:07 p.m. ET.
