England’s Justin Rose won the Farmers Insurance Open for the second time by shooting 2-under-par 70 on Sunday in San Diego.
Rose, 45, became the PGA Tour’s oldest golfer to secure a wire-to-wire finish in more than 15 years, finishing at 23-under 265 for a seven-stroke victory.
Rose’s two highest scores came in the last two days at the Torrey Pines South Course, but he built such a lead beginning with Thursday’s 62 that it didn’t matter on his way to notching his 13th victory on the PGA Tour.
Rose also won the tournament in 2019, though he only had two triumphs on the PGA Tour since then. Rocco Mediate, then 47, held a lead for all four rounds at the Frys.com Open, as it was then called, in October 2010.
Pierceson Coody’s 65 marked the day’s best round and that lifted him to a share of second place at 16 under with South Korea’s Si Woo Kim (69) and Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune (69).
Jake Knapp (67) and Germany’s Stephan Jaeger (68) shared fifth place at 15 under.
Rose played the front nine in 3 under before his only bogey on No. 12.
Brooks Koepka shot 70 to complete his first tournament back on the PGA Tour, ending at 4 under and tied for 56th place.
