Wary Rose has had lead at 4 – and lost

FORT WORTH, TEXAS» While Justin Rose felt good about his four-stroke lead after three rounds at Colonial, he wasn’t yet counting down the holes left in the Fort Worth Invitational.

“I think I’ve won and lost actually from four ahead, so I’ve got experience both ways,” Rose said after shooting a 4-under-par 66 on Saturday to get to 14 under. “Just shows you can’t get ahead of yourself.”

Rose also remembers how he won his PGA Tour season debut, a surprise in Shanghai in October after he began the final round of the HSBC Champions eight shots behind Dustin Johnson, then the No. 1 player in the world.

“I’ve got experience the other way,” Rose said. “So you can see how things can go both ways real quick . ... Great position going into (Sunday), yeah. Look forward to putting it away, but I kind of know there are going to be challenges out there.”

Fifth-ranked Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion and Olympic gold medalist with eight PGA Tour victories, led by four over playing partner Emiliano Grillo and defending U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka. Grillo shot 69 while Koepka had a 67. Mccarron, Petrovic tied for lead.

BENTON HARBOR, MICH.» Scott Mccarron has been in the final group Sunday six times over the past two years with four wins, including a major championship.

For Tim Petrovic, it will be something new in his first full year as a senior.

Mccarron made his only bogey of the third round on the final hole to shoot a 5-under 66 and slip into a tie for the lead Saturday with Petrovic in the Senior PGA Championship. They were at 13 under par after Petrovic, who is seeking his first win as a senior and first major championship, shot 6under 65.

Pregnant Lewis in second. ANN ARBOR, MICH.» In-kyung Kim began her round with a flurry of birdies, and Stacy Lewis — playing five months’ pregnant — closed hers out in similar fashion.

They both still have work to do if they’re going to catch Minjee Lee, whose steady consistency has been enough so far.

Lee shot a 4-under 68 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA Volvik Championship. She capped a bogey-free third round with a birdie on No. 18 to get to 12 under, and now the Australian standout will try to celebrate her birthday with her first victory of the year. She turns 22 on Sunday.
