San Diego – Patrick Rodgers hit his best golf ball when the best Saturday of golf starts to shake. At the end, one round ended with a 4-shot under 68 in the final round of the Genesis Invitational of Torrey Pines, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy lags behind Torrey Pines.
On a tough day in the sun, Rodgers’ only frustrator was hitting the water on the par-4 (Par-4) and had to fight for bogey.
He was one shot ahead of Danny McCarthy (71) at 208. Ludvig Åberg had a trump card on the third hole of par-3, and his shot was 70, and he was behind again.
Rodgers matched or broke some of Tiger Woods records at Stanford, but never played in the PGA Tour. Now he’s away from Woods winning the trophy for his first PGA Tour winner. But since he turned the player, he has played 18 holes on the PGA Tour with a score of 283, especially on beasts like Torrey Pines’ South Process, This is a marathon.
The course did a number on Scheffler and McIlroy.
Scheffler is the No. 1 player in the world and tied Davis Thompson as the fifth birdie and was available in his sixth five-shot lead. But he hit 7 wood from the fairway bunker, entered the crowd, and then hit Sanmu from a bogey within 15 feet.
He also took two chips from near the 5-shot green green and made the bogey double bogey in the 14th danger and hit him with a 76-shot, which was his last three The highest score in the year.
McIlroy was five shots behind and his 74-round roster was slower until he was three from 12 feet of 16-16.
Scheffler and McIlroy will be paired in the final round, much earlier than they both hoped.
There are some good scores that can be made before the Pacific breeze bursts out on the first day of the sunshine. Tony Finau shooting.
Patrick Cantlay (68), Tommy Fleetwood (69) and Thompson also have four defenders who have held his own 36-hole leader until The last nine minutes to 40 years old gives him 76.
McCarthy is steady on many others’ rolling coastal day and will also win his first PGA Tour title. However, Rodgers expects he grew up in amateur golf games with Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas and watch them win tour wins and professionalism.
He has changed his mind from what he expected to do to simply try to perform.
“Early in my career, my amateur resume was something that I had a lot of expectations inside me,” he said. “It’s when it’s time to succeed, it’s not immediately successful, it’s who I think I am. The battle.
“So instead of playing with monkeys on your back, the monkeys getting bigger and bigger over time, I try to play from a perspective that feels fresh, fresh, exciting and full of opportunity. Because that’s it. The game is, I have a great game tomorrow.”
The bogey on the 18th was his only flaw.
His best was on the back nine, starting with the 4-iron, he tied 15 feet on the 12-hole for 504 yards, and on the 13-hole for 504 yards, and on the 13-13-green 3 wood. Only three other players hit that green in two points.
Rodgers also surrounded the 40-foot birdie position on the 17th before the bogey ended.
Aberg played with Rodgers and he was impressed by what he saw.
“He’s great, he’s doing well on the tee,” Eberg said. “You might get rewards and have a lot of good chances to get into the Greens, but once you start missing the fairway, it becomes very Difficult. It’s a great golf course, it’s open golf course in the United States, and it’s certainly going to be. Today.”
