Patrick Rodgers Leads Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines

Patrick Rodgers is leading the Genesis Invitational by one shot heading into the final round after shooting a four-under-par 68 on Saturday, bringing his total to eight under. This marks a significant moment for Rodgers, who is still seeking his first PGA Tour win in 286 starts, a milestone he has yet to achieve despite being a highly regarded former amateur. He is closely pursued by Denny McCarthy, who shot 71, and Ludvig Aberg, who made a hole-in-one during his round and sits at six under. World number one Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy struggled, shooting 76 and 74 respectively, falling five shots behind the leaders. Rodgers expressed excitement about the opportunity to finally break his winless streak, emphasizing a shift in his perspective on the pressures of his career. With the final round approaching, the tournament has set the stage for a potential breakthrough in Rodgers' long career.
