SKYSPORTS.COM
Defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Patrick Rodgers grabbed a share of the lead heading in to Sunday's final round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, San Diego in California.
Rodgers carded a bogey-free 67 to set the 54-hole clubhouse target, with Snedeker birdieing his penultimate hole to close a two-under 70 and also get to nine under.Tony Finau and Cheng Tsung Pan sit a stroke back in a share of third, while overnight leader Justin Rose is one of nine players on seven under.
Snedeker grabbed the early lead by following a tap-in gain at the second with a birdie-two at the next, before Ollie Schniederjans briefly joined him thanks to three birdies in his opening seven holes.
Rose slipped further behind with a three-putt at the seventh, as Schniederjans opened his back nine with successive bogeys and Snedeker dropped a shot at the 12th to slip off top spot.
Rodgers surged up the leaderboard thanks to four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn and edged ahead with a two-putt gain at the par-five 14th.
The American's stint as outright leader was ended when Snedeker converted a five-foot birdie at the 17th and parred the last, leaving him well-placed to challenge for a third victory in the event.
Martin Laird missed the third round cut after a 76 for 218.
