Rose leads, Woods misses cut at San Diego

Justin Rose grabbed a oneshot lead Friday after the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, while Tiger Woods missed the cut in his return to the PGA Tour.

Justin Rose made a 10foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 1-under 71 to take a one-shot lead Friday in the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego.

Rose goes into the weekend at Torrey Pines that suddenly is missing some of the stars.

Tiger Woods missed the cut in his return to the PGA Tour after a 17-month layoff. More shocking were the early departures of Jason Day, the No. 1 player in the world, and Dustin Johnson, the PGA Tour player of the year.

Rickie Fowler also missed the cut.

Rose overcame back-toback bogeys on the back nine of the South Course with a final birdie that gave him the lead over Brandt Snedeker (69) and Adam Hadwin (71), the Canadian who shot 59 last week in the California desert.

LPGA Tour

Brittany Lincicome and Lexi Thompson led a U.S. Solheim Cup breakaway in the LPGA Tour’s seasonopening Pure Silk Bahamas Classic in Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Lincicome shot an 8-under 65 to reach 17-under 129 at Ocean Club Golf Course, and Thompson had a career-best 61 to pull within a stroke.

Thompson was asked about the possibility of shooting 59.

“I thought about it, but I just wanted to keep on playing my own game and see where it goes,” Thompson said. “I was just pin-seeking the whole day. I was just trying to stay with my routine and have good tempo with my golf swing. That’s just all I’ve been working on.”

Qatar Masters

Welsh golfer Bradley Dredge still led the Qatar Masters after the renowned gusts returned for the second round, but he had company.

Eight others caught him to create a nine-way tie for the lead, a European Tour record.

The last time nine players were tied on top was after the first round of the 1997 Wales Open.
