JUSTIN Rose is just three shots behind joint leaders Billy Horschel and Rory McIlroy, going into today's final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.

The north Hampshire golfer hit back after an opening round of 72 (+2), with two rounds of 66 (-4), which included five birdies in each.

Rose may well have a chance to win this tournament, but the overall FedEx Cup title in which this is the final event, looks set to go to either McIlroy or Horschel.
