Justin Rose: WGC joint leader tips himself for shot at US PGA

Rose made four birdies in the last six holes

England's Justin Rose believes he can win his second major title at the US PGA Championship next week.

The 2013 US Open winner, 35, fired a 63 to claim a share of the lead after the third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

Rose carded seven birdies, including four in the last six holes, to finish nine-under par alongside American Jim Furyk, who returned a 69.

Asked if his form pointed towards a second major title, he replied: "Yes."

Rose added: "At least I am knocking on that door a little bit again, which is nice."

Ireland's Shane Lowry (67) is two off the lead and England's Ian Poulter is four behind after carding a 65.

Rose had carded 17 pars and one bogey in a second round of 71 in Akron, extending an unwelcome run without a birdie to 30 holes as he started the day six shots off the lead.

However, he made amends in sublime fashion, with several superb shots including a 10-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole and a 40-foot birdie putt to finish.

World number two Jordan Spieth has much work to do if he is to claim a victory on Sunday and replace Northern Ireland's world number one Rory McIlroy at the top of the rankings. The 22-year-old carded a double bogey on the 18th to shoot 72 and is nine shots off the lead.
