British golfer Justin Rose made quite a bit of history at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course this week.
Rose led the tournament from beginning to end, a first in the 70-plus-year history of the Farmers Insurance Open. At 45, he became the oldest player to ever win the tournament. And his seven stroke lead was a record margin of victory for a Farmers Open, too.“I was aware of the big lead and I kind of wanted to play for that, for myself,” he said in apost-tournament interview. “I was also aware that I’d kind of grown the lead each day, so Iwanted to finish seven (strokes) ahead, rather than six.”His win gave him a prize of $1.7 million.Three golfers tied for second place — Texas native Pierceson Coody, Si Woo Kim of SouthKorea and Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune — earning a little more than $1 million each. All three finished 16 strokes under par, far behind Rose’s minus 23 strokes.But Brooks Koepka, who defected from the rival LIV Golf League, garnered the most attention during a tournament that marked his return to the PGA Tour after nearly four years away.Koepka made the cut, but finished four shots under par, tied for 56th place.
During a Sunday interview in which he was visibly tired, Koepka said he was still adjusting tobeing back in the PGA.“I probably don’t know about half the guys (playing),” he said. “Over the past four years, there’s been quite a bit of turnover. Half the guys I do know and the other half, I don’t. It’ll be afun year, just getting to know everybody. I’m excited.”
San Diego natives dotted the tournament field, but none performed particularly well.Xander Schauffele— the PGA Tour’s No. 4-ranked golfer, a Scripps Ranchnative and San Diego State graduate — didn’t play during the weekend after struggling during opening rounds Thursday and Friday.He missed a birdie putt Friday on his final hole, missing the cut by one stroke and ending his streak of 72 straight cuts made. Schauffele last missed a cut at the 2022 Masters Tournament. His streak of 1,391 days without missing a cut was the longest the longest since Tiger Woods went 142 consecutive tournaments without missing a weekend.
“Obviously I don’t like missing cuts, I think my record proves that, but it’s actually kind of nice,to be honest, if I was going to pick a spot,” said Schauffele, who plays out of Bernardo HeightsCountry Club. “I get to hang out with my family.”“If I miss the cut in Charlotte or somewhere, I would just be sitting in a hotel room by myself. Ihave the comfort of my family here to hang out,” he told the media on Friday. “You know what?All said and done, it’s probably the best place to miss it.”Another SDSU product, world No. 7-RANKED J.J. Spaun, also missed the cut. The 2025 U.S. Open winner finished the first two rounds this week even, tied for 97th place.Two other locals also failed to advance to the later rounds: Charley Hoffman, a Poway HighSchool graduate playing in his hometown tournament for the 28th time; and JustinHastings, an SDSU alum making his Farmers Open debut as a sponsor exemption.Yet another local who had been slated to play, Michael Kim, withdrew days before thetournament due to a back injury. Kim, who grew up in Del Mar and attended Torrey Pines High School, has said he intends to play in next year’s tournament.Notes: This was the final time the event was being played under its current name. After 17years, Farmers Insurance elected not to extend its title sponsorship after 2026. Starting next year, a different company’s name will appear in the tournament’s title. In the interim, thetournament could go back to being known as the San Diego Open, as it was when it wasfounded in 1952
