Medal count | Olympic schedule |Olympic news
Justin Rose made his move on Saturday in the third round of the 2016 men’s Olympic golf tournament, shooting a 6-under 65 that carried him to a one-stroke lead entering the final round.
Rose is at 12-under 201, just ahead of reigning British Open winner Henrik Stenson, who shot a second consecutive 3-under 68 in windy conditions at the Olympic Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro. The 2013 U.S. Open champion made up a lot of ground in two holes, with an eagle 2 on the driveable par-4 third hole and another eagle on the reachable par-5 fifth.
Aussie Marcus Fraser, the 36-hole leader, hung in well amid the chargers coming for him on Saturday. His 1-over 72 in Round 3 leaves him just three off the pace. Fraser has a three-shot edge in the race for the bronze medal, with three players tied for fourth place at 6 under par, including Bubba Watson, David Lingmerth and Emiliano Grillo.
Watson was one of three Americans to improve their standing significantly on Moving Day, with Matt Kuchar pulling into a five-way tie for seventh place at 5 under par with a third-round 69.
Rickie Fowler had the round of the day in Rio, however, shooting 7-under 64. Fowler went out in 6-under 29, including a hole-out eagle on the par-4 ninth. The American then birdied the 10th to get to 7 under on the round. After a pair of bogeys on the toughest holes on the Gil Hanse-designed course, Fowler finished with birdies on the final two holes to shoot the second-best round of the tournament. (Fraser opened with 63.)
