Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau highlight notable PGA Tour players to miss 2022 Farmers Insurance Open cut

These PGA Tour stars won’t be playing the weekend at Torrey Pines.

SAN DIEGO – It’s not easy leaving this seaside paradise overlooking the Pacific.

But despite perfect scoring conditions for two days – light winds, sunlit skies and the ground a tad on the soft side – some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names said adios to Torrey Pines and its top-notch lodging and golf courses on Thursday.

With the cut coming in at -3, that meant the likes of hometown favorite Phil Mickelson, four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, three-time major champion Jordan Spieth and master blaster Bryson DeChambeau missing the cut.

The much tougher South Course got the better of those who won’t play the final two rounds. The South played nearly 4.5 strokes easier than the North Course.

Here are the notables who headed home.

Fear the beard: Unshaven Michael Thompson fires 64, trails Billy Horschel by one after first round of Farmers Insurance Open

“Turns out my wife loved the beard so I’m keeping it,” said Thompson.

SAN DIEGO – The beard works.

Michael Thompson, who makes one think of Grizzly Adams when they take a glance, began growing his now very thick beard before last year’s FedEx Cup Playoffs began in August. And no, he hasn’t thought about shaving.

“Turns out my wife loved the beard so I’m keeping it,” he said.

Although he missed the cut last week in the American Express, the two-time PGA Tour winner tied for fifth in the Sony Open in Hawaii two weeks ago and put himself into contention again Wednesday in the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

With eight birdies and zero bogeys, Thompson signed for a 64 on the North Course, which played three strokes tougher than it’s tournament companion, the South Course (which hosted the 2021 U.S. Open).

Billy Horschel, who shot 63 on the North, grabbed the first-round lead. Stephan Jaeger and Kevin Tway each shot 65 on the North. The best round on the South was a 6-under-par 66 turned in by world No. 1 Jon Rahm, who won the 2021 U.S. Open. Luke List, Peter Malnati and Cameron Tringale each shot 67 on the South.

[vertical-gallery id=778205044]

Defending champion Patrick Reed shot 72 on the South.

“I hit it great off the tee, put myself in really good positions, and the few times I was off, for the most part I was able to give myself a chance to save the hole, so I think that was the key,” Rahm said. “Nothing was really bad. I feel like everything was feeling good, everything was coming out and feeling the way it should and it showed in the score.”

Thompson wasn’t expecting anything to feel good heading into his round.

“I was really quite surprised with how I played today because my practice leading up into today wasn’t that great. I didn’t play great last week, but something clicked, and I made a bunch of putts and I was hitting my lines, so nothing to complain about,” Thompson said. “I really just was working with my coach, Ken Reeves. We’ve kind of simplified what I need to do in my golf swing to be able to hit it solid and hit it a little bit straighter and trying to stay focused on just those three key things that I have and work on them constantly.”

OK, but back to the beard.

“Man, I haven’t been mistaken for anybody,” he said. “It’s just more people just, they think I’m a rookie because I look so different. You know, I’ve probably gotten more comments of, ‘What hockey team do you play for?’”

Horschel, on the other hand, is clean-shaven and would not be mistake for a hockey player. But he does good work with his golf sticks. The world No. 23, who won the BMW Championship in Europe in September and was the 2014 FedEx Cup champion, is in a good position to win his seventh PGA Tour title.

He made nine birdies and felt a lot better than he has of late.

“So I slept bad coming back from Hawaii from the Sony Open. What was that, 10 days ago? I’ve been dealing with it all last week,” Horschel said. “And my physio at home, Brian Smith, we did some work last week. Felt pretty good, flew out here Saturday. Practiced Sunday, felt OK. And then after my practice on Monday or during my practice Monday, it just felt like it was locking back up a little bit.

“We’ve been working on it for two days straight. I mean, needling, everything you can possibly think of to try to get it to loosen up. It’s more or less a trap. Not too bad, but it’s more or less a trap in the feeling I get going down my shoulder.

“I don’t really take a lot of medicine and somehow he said, ‘Hey, I think we just need to take some ibuprofen and to reduce this inflammation.’ Took that late yesterday morning and it made a world of difference last night.”

Horschel was understandably concerned heading into the round, but the back never tightened up.

“Hopefully we got through the tough of it and now we’re on the downhill side and I don’t have to worry about it anymore,” he said. “I didn’t know if I was even going to tee it up today when I woke up. Even when I was hitting balls I still wasn’t sure whether I was going to tee it up.”

He was rewarded for getting to the first tee.

“I hit it really good,” he said. “I think the longest putt I made was probably on my second hole, I made it from about 25 feet. Everything else was, you know, inside 10 feet, inside 15 feet. Hit some really good iron shots, which I haven’t done well the last couple years. My iron game’s really been holding me back, so it was nice to see some of the work, like I said, we did last week come to fruition this week.”

With a little bundle of joy to turn to, Rickie Fowler gets back on track with 66 in Farmers Insurance Open

“It doesn’t matter what happens out here, win, lose, whatever, you feel the same when you go home.”

SAN DIEGO – In times of struggle, Rickie Fowler turns to an ideal cure-all.

A little bundle of joy named Maya.

That would be Fowler’s newborn daughter, who is on the second week of her first PGA Tour road trip.  Last week, she was the perfect remedy for Fowler, who missed the cut in the annual birdie-fest known as the American Express.

Now, it should be noted that Fowler and his optimistic ways have always weathered lean times, but his daughter now adds an extra layer of relief.

And there have been plenty of lean times since the start of 2020 for Fowler, 33. The winner of five PGA Tour titles, including the 2015 Players Championship, and two on the DP World Tour hasn’t won since the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open and has just four-tops 10s in his last 43 starts. Once ranked as high as No. 5 in the world, he’s fallen to 101st.

But Fowler keeps working, keeps moving forward, keeps seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And now, he gets to see his wife, Allison, and Maya, who was born November 18.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CWvy7vdpnZT/

“It doesn’t matter what happens out here, win, lose, whatever, you feel the same when you go home. See a little smile from her, it doesn’t matter what happened previous to that,” Fowler said Wednesday after his first-round, 6-under-par 66 on the North Course at Torrey Pines in the Farmers Insurance Open. “For the most part I feel like I’m very patient. My wife says I’m maybe the most impatient with her, I’m patient with everyone else. So I’m sorry to her about that.

“I’m just right now enjoying life. Obviously in a really good place to get to play golf for a living. There are rough days in the office out here, but when you kind of put things into perspective and look at the big picture, it’s all right.”

It was better than all right on Wednesday. After a slow start, he birdied six of his last 14 holes and trails pace-setter Michael Thompson, who shot 64 on the North, which played three strokes easier than the South. The best round on the South (with players still on the course) was a 67 turned in by Luke List.

“Definitely pleased,” Fowler said. “I would say I struggled to get out of the gate a little bit. Did a good job of kind of focusing on the things that we’re working on, being deliberate swing‑wise and staying patient out there.

“I feel like I did a good job mentally. Just continue to move forward out there. The North Course is one that you should play a little bit better on, but it’s also one that can jump up and bite you pretty quickly if you’re out of position.”

He was out of position more than a few times last week in the American Express. But three days of good work after missing the cut got his swing back in the right positions. Fowler and swing coach John Tillery have been working on Fowler being more deliberate with his swing.

“I felt like I was swinging at about 60 percent and took about three hours to get to the top of my backswing,” Fowler joked. “That would roughly be the feelings of it. Just tried to be a lot more deliberate, not trying to rush things. I got a little quick on a couple transitions out there, lost a couple to the right, but other than that I felt like I did a good job.”

And he’s doing a better job on the greens.

“Trying to trust a little bit more stuff on the greens,” he said. “Putting, sometimes when I’m looking up at the hole you can kind of start working one way or the other because it looks or feels a certain way, so trying to trust the line a little bit more and roll than versus letting my eyes dictate what it may feel like once you’re over the ball.

“Produced a lot of good shots today. Last week I drove it fairly well. I had a couple that were a little offline, but for the most part it was my iron play that really kind of killed me. And a place like that out in the desert, it’s not really good to be putting for par; you’ve got to be making birdies out there. I think we turned it around all right and off to a little better start this week.”

2022 Farmers Insurance Open fantasy golf power rankings, odds and picks

The field at Torrey Pines is loaded and ready to take on one of the toughest tests in golf.

In most minds, this is the week the golf season starts. The PGA Tour is back at Torrey Pines, a venue that saw two champions last season. Patrick Reed won the Farmers Insurance Open, while Jon Rahm took home the U.S. Open trophy in June.

The aforementioned World No. 1 enters the week as the betting favorite sitting at +650. Justin Thomas, who we haven’t seen since the Sentry Tournament of Champions, follows behind at +1300.

The field will play both the North and South courses in the first two rounds before both weekend rounds will take place on the South Course.

Fantasy golf top 10

Jon Rahm (+650)

Jon Rahm
Jon Rahm watches his ball after teeing off on hole one of the Pete Dye Stadium Course during the final round of The American Express at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022.

It’s no secret this place means a lot to Rahm. First major win, first PGA Tour win, among other things. Coming off a decent week in the desert where he wasn’t too happy about the setup, he’ll get the challenge he’s begging for this week at Torrey.

Will Zalatoris (+3000)

Zalatoris played well at the Farmers last year finishing tied for 7th. He tends to step up his game at tougher golf courses, and his ball-striking ability should keep him in the hunt despite his moody putter.

Xander Schauffele (+1500)

The San Diego native has had an up and down relationship with this event but played well at both Torrey Pines events last year: T-2 at the Farmers, T-7 at the U.S. Open. His last start on Tour was the Sentry TOC where he finished solo 12th.

Tony Finau (+2000)

Finau is second to only Rahm in cumulative scoring at the Farmers since 2017 (Rahm -51, Finau -46). His worst finish at the Farmers is T-24 (2015) and has since signed for four T-6 performances or better.

Maverick McNealy

McNealy is off to a great start this season with five finishes of T-27 or better. He doesn’t have a long resume at the Farmers Insurance Open, however, he’s two for three making the weekend including a top-20 finish in 2020 (T-29 in 2018).

Bryson DeChambeau (+2000)

The longest player on Earth at one of the longest, toughest courses on the PGA Tour schedule? This pick speaks for itself. And if you forgot, DeChambeau was leading the U.S. Open on Sunday before shooting 1,000 on the back-nine.

Luke List (+8000)

His last four starts at the Farmers, starting in 2018: T-12, T-40, T-36, and T-10. In his last seven starts on Tour: five starts of T-22 or better. AKA: He’s playing really good golf and is headed to a venue where he feels comfortable.

Ryan Palmer (+7000)

He missed the cut at the US Open last year, but at the Farmers, Palmer has finished T-21 or better in four consecutive starts (including 2 runner-ups).

Sungjae Im (+3000)

Im played well in the desert, eventually tying for 11th. He doesn’t have a statement finish at Torrey but has made the cut in all four appearances at the venue.

Marc Leishman (+3000)

The Aussie loves him some Torrey Pines. He won the event in 2020, finished in the top 20 last season, and had a top 10 back in 2018. Leishman already has three top 10s this season.

Swear words aside, world No. 1 Jon Rahm doesn’t back off on criticism of PGA Tour setup last week

“If I knew somebody was recording, I wouldn’t say it the way I did,” said Rahm, who stood by his opinion.

SAN DIEGO – Jon Rahm stood his ground.

Last week en route to finishing in a tie for 14th in the American Express, the world No. 1 was caught on video voicing his extreme displeasure with the course setup in what is annually a birdie-fest in the Palm Springs area, one he captured in 2018.

As he walked from a green to a tee at the Nicklaus Course at PGA West during the second round, Rahm, who wears his emotions on his golf sleeve and has improved his ability to reign in his temperament that has gotten the better of himself a few times over the years, went off with an eight-word out burst with two expletives that made the video go viral.

“Piece of (blank) (blank) setup. Putting-contest week,” he said.

Ahead of Wednesday’s start of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, Rahm didn’t offer up a straight-out apology. Yes, he admitted Tuesday his language should have been different. But he’s not apologizing for his take on the setup.

“If I knew somebody was recording, I wouldn’t say it the way I did, but I was just thinking out loud and letting some frustration out because that’s what I felt, right?” Rahm said. “I mean, the video’s pretty self-explanatory. I mean, we’re the PGA Tour, we’re the best golfers on the planet and we’re playing a golf course where missing the fairway means absolutely nothing.

“There were times where missing the fairway by an inch was worse than missing the fairway by 20 yards, that to me is a mistake. I also understand we’re in the desert, you can’t overseed the entire golf course and things like that can’t happen, but yeah, we played a lot of golf with zero rough.

“No matter where you hit it, you’re going to be able to hit it on the green and it becomes a putting contest, who can make the putts. That’s about it, there’s no premium for anything else.

“I can tell you right now with the way I struck the ball last week and the way I putted, if it was in, let’s say, major championship conditions, I probably wouldn’t have made the cut, let alone finish 14th, or I shouldn’t have, I believe. I just think it was a bit too easy for the best players in the world.

“That’s just my opinion.”

[listicle id=778203934]

Rahm won’t be disappointed in this week’s setup at Torrey Pines. There will be rough on both the South and North courses, there will be a premium put on every club in the bag, there will be a challenge.

In other words, it’s right up Rahm’s alley.

The South Course, after all, hosted last year’s U.S. Open, which Rahm won by one with birdies on the 71st and 72nd holes. He also won his first PGA Tour title in the Farmers in 2017 and has five top 10s in all in six starts at Torrey Pines.

Rahm also got engaged to his wife, Kelley, on the hiking trails near Torrey Pines.

“It is a golf course that I love, it’s a city that I love. Obviously have great memories all throughout my career here, my latest win being here as well,” he said. “Just very excited to be here. It’s one of those weeks that I look forward to every year. Looks like the weather’s going to be great as it almost always is in San Diego and hopefully I can put in another strong performance like I have in the past.”

Odds are he will. Rahm, 27, has won in Ireland, Spain, Dubai, California, Illinois and Ohio the past three years. He has six PGA Tour titles, another six on the DP world Tour. He’s been the No. 1 player in the world since July.

“Feeling confident, feeling comfortable,” he said. “Last week was not my best week, didn’t feel good swing-wise. Putting felt about as bad as it can feel and I somehow still managed to sneak in a top 15, so that gives me a lot of confidence knowing what I’m working on is going on the right track and when I’m having a bad week I can still post a score.

“Hopefully I can tidy up a couple details in the next few weeks, but hopefully I can start playing well this week.”
