Justin Rose made his birdies mean something by keeping bogeys off his card for a 6-under 65 and a one-shot lead Friday in the PGA Tour's Dell Technologies Championship in Norton, Mass.
Rose was rarely out of position on a breezy day at TPC Boston that kept scores higher than usual. He putted for birdie on all but two holes and finished with three birdies over his last four holes, leaving Russell Knox and Abraham Ancer tied for second.
"To birdie three of the last four made a good day a very good day," Rose said
Tiger Woods struggled with iron shots but rallied on improved putting to salvage a 72.
