Legendary Justin Rose Clinches Historic Wire to Wire Victory at Farmers Insurance Open

English golf star Justin Rose delivered a truly remarkable performance at the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, becoming the first player in 71 years to lead a PGA TOUR event from start to finish at the iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course.

Rose opened the tournament with an incredible 10-under 62 on Thursday and never looked back. He carried his momentum through all four rounds and finished at 23-under-par (265)—a new scoring benchmark that surpassed the long-standing tournament record once held by Tiger Woods since 1999.

At 45 years old, this victory not only adds a 13th PGA TOUR title to Rose’s illustrious career but also makes him one of the oldest players to dominate an event wire-to-wire—a feat not seen at Torrey Pines since the 1950s.

Rose’s week was a masterclass in consistency, strategy, and precision, reminding fans and fellow golfers alike that experience and mental strength are as vital as power and distance.

This historic win underscores Rose’s enduring presence in elite golf and sets an inspiring tone for the rest of the 2026 PGA TOUR season.
