The final round of the 2012 Emirates Australian Open tees off bright and early Sunday morning in Sydney, with coverage in the United States running on Saturday evening. John Senden and Justin Rose will play together in the final group at The Lakes Golf Club, with Senden holding a two-shot lead. The Aussie is looking to capture his second Australian Open, but he’ll have to hold off one of the top players in the world in the Englishman Rose. Senden’s issue has always been with the putter, but if he has that going in the final round, he’ll be hard to beat.

Can John Senden hold off Justin Rose, and American Kyle Stanley in the final round of the 2012 Australian Open?

Rose was a rock of the European Ryder Cup team this fall, and he carried over that steady play throughout the offseason. He’s won everywhere in the world, including an Australian Masters victory in 2006. A win in Sydney would keep it rolling for Rose, and could portend a huge upcoming 2013 season.
Tom Watson and Kyle Stanley are the only two Americans left in the field. Stanley is just four shots back of Senden and will play in the fourth-to-last group. The bomber from Clemson is loaded with potential, and rebounded from his collapse at Torrey Pines to pick up his first career win in Scottsdale this season. He’s a young American who could also be poised for a breakout 2013 season.
