Overview
- Rose, who shot a five-under 65 in Saturday's third round at Aronimink, moved to two under and sat four shots behind leader Alex Smalley.
- He kept his week alive by chipping in for eagle on the par-5 ninth to beat the cut line on Friday's final hole of round two.
- He sparked his climb with four straight birdies on holes 3 through 6, posted 30 on the front nine, and matched the low round of the championship.
- After scrutiny over his switch to McLaren's new irons, Rose said the clubs are great, rejected equipment excuses, and pointed to confidence and preparation.
- The 45-year-old major winner, who won the 2013 U.S. Open at nearby Merion, enters Sunday with an outside chance that could also lift McLaren Golf's launch credibility.
