Justin Rose shares WGC Bridgestone Invitational lead with Jim Furyk

Justin Rose fires a 63 to share the lead at the Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

Justin Rose has moved into a share of the lead at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational after a round of 63 at Firestone.

The former US Open champion hit a bogey-free round in Ohio and his birdie at the 18th was enough to move him to the top of the leaderboard.

Rose is tied with Jim Furyk on nine-under-par after the American dropped shots at the seventh and 12th on his way to a one-under 69.

Ireland's Shane Lowry leads the chasing pack after a round of 67 left him two shots off the lead, while Ian Poulter's 65 moved him into a share of fourth place, alongside Henrik Stenson and Bubba Watson.

Jordan Spieth's challenge at Firestone has all but ended after a two-over-par 72 left the Masters champion at level par. It also means that Rory McIlroy will almost certainly retain his status as world number one after the tournament.
