It's one thing to sleep on a 54-hole lead, but Justin Rose will have slept on a two-stroke 63-hole lead when play resumes today at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach Golf Links. A win by Rose, 42, would further etch his legacy on the PGA Tour. His 10 Tour wins are already the most by any player from England — one more than Nick Faldo — since World War II. Rose, whose last win was down the road at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2019, is 5-for-15 when holding or sharing a 54-hole lead. Today, he doesn't have as far to go.
