JUSTIN ROSE GOES TWO
SHOTS CLEAR IN BOB
HOPE CLASSIC

Justin Rose (26) leads the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic by two strokes with two rounds to play in the 90-hole marathon at Palm Desert, California.
The Johannesburg-born Englishman, who has lived in Florida for the past two years, had a third-round 66 for an 18-under-par tally of 198.
In second place in American Scott Verplank after a 68 for 200.
By California standards, it was a cold and windy day on the four courses used for the five-day event. But Rose said he had experienced far worse many a time playing in England as an amateur.
Former Ryder Cup player and captain Bernhard Langer had a hole in one at the 170yd par-3 seventh on Bermuda Dunes, a stroke of luck that helped him to return the day's lowest score, a nine-under-par 63, which polevaulted him into joint 13th position.
