Justin Rose achieved a historic wire-to-wire victory at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, a feat not seen in 71 years. The English golfer started with a six-shot lead and never relinquished it, closing out the tournament with a two-under-par 70 to set the 72-hole record of 23-under-par 265. He surpassed the mark previously held by Tiger Woods' 1999 performance.
Rose's dominating performance was marked by a strong opening round of 62 on the North course and continued success throughout the South course, where he has never lost form. The 45-year-old golfer broke his own record from their previous victory in 2019 while demonstrating his dedication to golf, having won multiple titles and medals.
Rose's comments after the win included an apology to Tiger Woods, indicating a level of respect for his fellow competitor. Despite Rose's impressive performance, there were runners-up, including Kim Si Woo, Ryo Hisatsune, and Pierceson Coody, who shared second place honors with Koepka returning from the LIV Golf league.
Rose's achievement marked his 13th PGA Tour victory, propelling him to a world ranking of number three. He has consistently worked hard to maintain his elite status in golf, having won a US Open and Olympic gold medal, as well as participating in seven Ryder Cup competitions. Despite this success, Rose remains committed to his craft, asserting that he believes there is "good stuff" ahead for him.
Rose's wire-to-wire win solidified his position among the world's top golfers, demonstrating his ability to adapt and excel on any course, particularly at Torrey Pines.

Come on, 13 PGA Tour victories isn't bad for a 45-year-old! I mean, sure he's had some incredible breaks and support teams, but the dude has been grinding out wins for years. And that apology to Woods was pure class - you don't see many guys showing respect like that, especially when they're basically patting themselves on the back 
. Anyway, Justin Rose is a total legend in my book, can we talk about how epic it is that he's still dominating at his age? 
71 years is crazy! Justin Rose is a total legend now! 45 and still going strong 
I mean, I've seen some old pros hang in there before, but not to this extent. Tiger Woods' record has been broken and he's shown respect by apologizing to him - that takes class 
He's definitely one of the most underrated golfers out there. 13th PGA tour win is crazy! And that record-breaking performance? Unbeatable 
What a performance from Justin Rose! The dude is just getting older but still brings it like a beast 
. And yeah, the guy has been grinding hard for years, it's no surprise he's at world number three now 
. The fact that he broke his own record from 2019 just shows you what dedication looks like 
!
. also love that he showed some class by apologizing to Woods after his win - that's what pros are all about 
wire-to-wire victory after 71 years is insane! six-shot lead and he never looked back 
and 45 years young and still killing it on the course! 
I mean, sure, it was a big deal for him and all, but 71 years without anyone doing this? That's just too long of a drought in my book 
.
This wire-to-wire win is insane! He's so consistent and dedicated, it's like he has a magic wand for his golf game 
. I mean, 71 years without anyone doing this? Unbelievable! 
. And can we talk about his age?! 45 and still going strong like a fine wine? 
His work ethic is truly inspiring 
! Thirteen PGA Tour victories? World ranking number three? The sky's the limit for this guy 
. Bring on the next tournament, Justin! We're rooting for you all the way 
!
he deserves all the praise for being so focused and dedicated to his craft, you can tell it paid off big time 
I was watching the highlights from 2019 when he won it before and i knew he had the skills, but wowzers! He's still got it! 
Can't wait to see what's next for him, tbh i think he's gonna keep killing it on the course 
And yeah, he's been working so hard for years to stay on top. I don't know how many people can say they've won a US Open and Olympic gold medal... that's no joke! 
.
he's like the ultimate golf ninja - always adapting to the course and coming out on top.
