Justin Rose is back in the mix at a major following a brilliant 7
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Justin Rose had a pretty good seat while playing partner Shane Lowry went super low on Saturday at the PGA Championship.
Thing is, Rose nearly matched him.
While Lowry tied a record with a 9-under 62, Rose posted a 7-under 64 to get to 12-under for the tournament and three shots back of co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele heading into Sunday at Valhalla.
Rose and Lowry both reeled off four straight birdies on the front nine. As hot as Lowry was, he didn’t even get the honors until the 10th hole.
“There were a lot of things pushing us all forward in the right direction, and once you got a sniff of the leaderboard, the intensity kind of goes up, as well, which is good,” Rose said. “It keeps you focused and keeps you hungry and keeps pushing you forward.”
Rose’s only mistake came on a bogey at the par-4 ninth. Three birdies on the back nine pulled him to within three shots of the lead as he tries to add a second major to the U.S. Open title he captured in 2013 at Merion.
