AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Justin Rose was one of the last players to arrive at the U.S. Masters and on Saturday the Olympic champion gave himself a chance to be the last man standing when the winner's Green Jacket is awarded.

Rose stormed home with five birdies in his final seven holes for a five-under-par 67, the day's lowest round, giving him a one-shot lead along with Spaniard Sergio Garcia at six under heading into Sunday's final round.
