Theegala Slips On Moving Day As Rose Surges Clear At Torrey Pines
The Farmers Insurance Open: Sahith Theegala stumbled on the moving day at the Farmers Insurance Open, carding a 1-over 73 to slip from tied-sixth to tied-20th after the third round at Torrey Pines.
The Indian-American, who opened with rounds of 66 and 69, is now 8-under with one round remaining. Playing the demanding South Course, Theegala mixed three birdies with four bogeys and was unable to keep pace as the leaders pulled away.
At the top, Justin Rose remained firmly in control and stretched his advantage to six shots over the field. Rose followed up his opening rounds of 62 and 65 with a steady 4-under 68 to move to 21-under 195, setting a new 54-hole tournament record. His total bettered the previous mark he set when winning in 2019 and matched historic efforts by Kyle Stanley (2012), Tiger Woods (2008) and Woody Blackburn (1985). Stanley was the only one of that group who failed to convert the lead into victory.
