Rose has won the previous two times he has started the final round with a four shot lead.

“It’s a big lead, but it isn’t big enough,” Rose said.

“You have to continue making birdies and keep going forward.”

Grillo shared that sentiment, firing a warning to the 37-year-old Briton.

“He has to go out and shoot under par,” Grillo said.

“He’s got 50 guys behind him trying to reach him.”
