Even after Rose’s blowout seven-shot win yesterday at the Farmers Insurance Open, there’s an argument to be made that we’re not appreciating enough just what he’s doing.
Justin Rose steamrolled the field at the Farmers Insurance Open to win by seven shots, top a Tiger Woods record and do something that hasn’t happened since 1955.
As Rose fashioned a historic victory in which he set the tournament’s 36, 54 and 72-hole scoring records, he said he never brought up the past with caddie Mark Fulcher – until the end.
In a brief statement, the PGA Tour announced in the evening that Michael Brennan had been disqualified for a breach of Model Local Rule G-11 because he used “non-permitted green-reading materials”.
Ahead of the start of the last San Diego tournament that will be sponsored by Farmers Insurance, Schauffele admitted that he’s hardly the guy tying himself to a Torrey pine tree to save the event. But he also doesn’t seem overly concerned that the event is in danger of going away.
Koepka, wearing a sweatshirt and his Nike hat low over his eyes, spoke almost solemnly and for the first time at length about his stunning return in front of a larger-than-normal gathering of reporters at the annual PGA Tour stop near San Diego.
Torrey Pines – which is the backdrop for this week’s Farmers Insurance Open – will serve as the temporary home to next month’s Genesis Invitational after the Genesis was forced to move from Riviera Country Club due to the wildfires in Los Angeles.
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.
