Justin Rose maintains his lead at the Farmers Insurance Open, while Brooks Koepka makes a successful return to the PGA Tour. The second-round leaderboard features a strong showing from Rose, who shot a seven-under-par 65, extending his lead to four shots. Koepka, a five-time major winner, made the cut with a score of three under after a challenging start on the South Course.
Rose's performance on Friday was impressive, with an eagle, six birdies, and just one bogey. He expressed his enjoyment of playing on tough courses, citing his career achievements on such courses. Koepka, on the other hand, struggled initially but found his rhythm on the North Course, sinking an eagle putt on the 17th hole.
The tournament also saw the end of Xander Schauffele's streak of consecutive cuts, and several other notable players missed the cut, including Patrick Cantlay, Gary Woodland, Will Zalatoris, JJ Spaun, Max Homa, and Ludvig Aberg. The leaderboard showcases a competitive field, with Rose leading the way and Koepka making a strong comeback.
