PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/competition/2017/farmers-insurance-open/leaderboard.html
After Justin Rose took the lead into the weekend at -7 he said "anyone who made the cut has a chance to win with the weather and the course set up"
That may well prove prophetic, as defending champion Brandt Snedeker (70) and Patrick Rodgers (67) are at -9 207, but 15 players are within three shots of the lead.
Rodgers comes from that high school class of 2011 that includes his best friends Justin Thomas, who has started the year with back to back wins in Hawaii, and Jordan Spieth whose record thus far speaks for itself. Other young guns who also graduated in 2011 are also right in there. C.T. Pan of Taiwan birdied three of his last five holes for a 69, -8 while Ollie Schniederjans managed a 71,-7
How about the Pat Perez angle. His father, Mike, is the starter on the first tee and Pat grew up playing Torrey Pines. He shot a -5 67 to sit at -7.
Adam Hadwin is still in with a chance. He fought hard for his +2 74 which has him at -5, four shots back, but with that out of the way, and another pristine breezy day with those bumpy poa annua greens on the Pacific coast in store, anything can happen, and probably will.
A playoff seems very probable to me, and Snedeker has the best putting record of them all on poa.
Canadian scores : Adam Hadwin T18 66 71 74 -5, Graham DeLaet T42 68 73 73 -2, MacKenzie Hughes T42 70 70 74 -2, Brad Fritsch T52 67 76 72 -1, Nick Taylor T58 69 74 73 E
