Justin Rose holds a two-shot lead heading into the final day of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Justin Rose held a two-shot lead midway through the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before it ended Monday.
Rose, chasing his first PGA Tour victory since the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open, was at 15 under par with the Englishman taking an eagle and two birdies after starting the fourth round with a bogey.
The 42-year-old will start play on Monday from the 10th fairway at Pebble Beach – the action is live on Sky Sports Golf from 4pm – as the tournament enters its fifth day.
The organizers made the decision to extend the competition after high winds reduced play on Saturday, with the Pro-Am section of the event, won by NFL star Aaron Rodgers and also featuring former Wales footballer Gareth Bale, which was then cut to 54 holes.

Rose finished in the third round at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club with a six-under-par 65, taking him to 12 under for the tournament and giving him a one-shot lead heading into the final round.
The 2013 US Open champion extended that advantage by one over the next nine holes, with his nearest challengers, American trio Denny McCarthy, Peter Malnati and Brendon Todd, each on 13 under par.
McCarthy has played 15 holes, Todd 12 and Malnati, who leads after round two, nine.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers won the amateur portion of the event, shooting a 54-hole score of 26-under par with PGA Tour partner Ben Silverman of Canada.
The team victory came despite Silverman not making the cut on the professional side of the event at one-over par through three rounds.
He finished at 26-under par, one shot ahead of Peter Malnati and Don Colleran, retired president and CEO of FedEx, whose name is already on the wall.
“It’s outstanding,” said Rodgers, whose Packers failed to reach the NFL playoffs just four times in 15 years as a starter. “It’s definitely on my bucket list.”

Gareth Bale sinks a big putt on the 13th hole during the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Bale and playing partner Joseph Bramlett finished in 16th place at 16 under.
Bale said: “The last couple of weeks have been amazing. The people giving me praise in the game is incredible, they have a little too much pressure on their shoulders!
“I’m a big golf fan and appreciate what these players do on the golf course. It’s good to play with them, interact and watch what they do.
“Just watch him [Bramlett] attacking the ball is just another. Power, touch. He’s amazing and he’s a better person, more importantly. I couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
