As Day pointed out, Torrey Pines makes sense because of its proximity to LA and history with the Genesis host, Tiger Woods, as the event seeks a one-off relocation away from fire-impacted Riviera Country Club.
Frenchman Matthieu Pavon birdied the 72nd hole of the Farmers Insurance Open to win his first PGA Tour title in only the third start of his rookie season.
On the greens Pavon ranked fifth in strokes gained/putting, bettering the field average by more than five strokes. His putter is a centre-shafted Ping Cadence TR Tomcat – a mid-mallet model Ping introduced in 2015.
So far in this calendar year, the prospects for impressive fields in early tournaments on the West Coast are equal to or better than they’ve been in the most recent years before the COVID-19 pandemic.
