With Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy fading on the back nine, Patrick Rodgers claimed the lead and Denny McCarthy is hot on his tail at the Genesis.

Rodgers was at his best Saturday when golf's best were faltering on a tough day at Torrey Pines, playing mistake-free until dumping a gap wedge into the water on the par-5 18th for his only bogey. That gave him a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead going into the final round.
