Jon Rahm’s bid for three wins in a row falls short at 2023 Farmers Insurance Open: ‘I just didn’t have it’

Jon Rahm is human after all.

SAN DIEGO – Jon Rahm is human after all.

The 28-year-old Spaniard made a mess of the fifth hole, and his emotions at times got the better of him as he posted 2-over 74 at the South Course at Torrey Pines and finished T-7.

Bidding for wins in three consecutive starts, Rahm struggled from the get-go, shooting 3-over 39 on the front nine and never was a factor in determining the champion of the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday.

Rahm entered the final round in second place, two strokes behind Sam Ryder. Not only was he trying to become the first player to win three consecutive starts on the PGA Tour since Dustin Johnson in 2017, but he would have returned to World No. 1 for the first time since last March.

Rahm confirmed that Torrey Pines, where he won the Farmers in 2017 and the U.S. Open in 2021, was his favorite course, but in the final round it turned into a love-hate relationship.

On a course where he averaged just a shade over 67, better than even Tiger Woods, Rahm missed a 9-foot par putt on the first hole to drop four strokes behind, and it only got worse when he drove left into a fairway bunker at the fifth hole. With his ball near the lip, he pulled his approach and it hit the cart path and bounced left into juicy rough.

“If it just stays in the rough I have an up-and-down chance, hits the cart path and goes to a dead spot,” he said. “I got the worst possible lie in the rough. Anytime I was in the rough, I was just dead as could be.”

He flubbed two pitch shots at the fifth and had to hole a 9-foot putt to save double bogey. He got a stroke back with a birdie at the par-5 sixth but took his anger out on the seventh tee box, slamming the head of his driver into the turf in disgust, when his drive failed to fade and found another fairway bunker. It led to another bogey.

Rahm had chances at Nos. 8 and 9 to claw closer but couldn’t get the putts to drop. CBS’s Dottie Pepper observed that Rahm was taking a couple of extra seconds longer standing over the ball on the greens. After gaining more than two strokes on the greens in the third round (ranked ninth), he lost more than a stroke to the field in the final round (ranked 55th of 73 in the field).

“I was lucky,” Max Homa, the winner of the tournament after shooting 6-under 66 on Saturday said during his winner’s press conference. “Jon is probably just exhausted.”

Rahm could have regained No. 1 with a runner-up or solo-third depending on where reigning World No. 1 Rory McIlroy finishes at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour (concluding Monday). But that became a moot point as Rahm, who rocketed from T-116 after an opening-round 73 and the wrong side of the cutline on Thursday with five holes to go to the final group on Saturday, couldn’t mount a charge to keep his hot streak intact. Only rounds of 75 and 77 on the weekend at the South Course in the 2018 Farmers Insurance Open were higher than his final-round 74 in 28 combined rounds at Torrey Pines (both North and South).

“I knew it would be a tough day,” he said. “I knew a couple under probably would have had a chance, but I just didn’t have it.”

Still, he’s been a force to be reckoned and will next tee it up at his hometown event, the WM Phoenix Open, not far from where he played at Arizona State, in two weeks.

2023 Farmers Insurance Open prize money payouts for each PGA Tour player

It pays to play well on the PGA Tour. Just ask Max Homa.

It pays to play well on the PGA Tour. Just ask this week’s winner, Max Homa.

Starting the day five shots behind and eventually falling to six back, Homa charged to the front with a final-round 6-under 66 to win the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in California. Homa birdied both of the par 3s on the back nine and closed with a final birdie on the par-5 18th, securing his sixth PGA Tour victory and second of the 2022-23 season.

His victory will net him $1,566,000, up from the $1,512,000 Luke List won a year ago.

Max Homa rallies from six-shot deficit for sixth PGA Tour victory at 2023 Farmers Insurance Open

It’s Homa’s fourth Tour victory in the state of California.

[mm-video type=video id=01gqxsv23ak0ek3qmxea playlist_id=01es6rjnsp3c84zkm6 player_id=01evcfxp4q8949fs1e image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gqxsv23ak0ek3qmxea/01gqxsv23ak0ek3qmxea-d7424fe7f7766d98c0cb740c1418f98f.jpg]

SAN DIEGO – Joe Greiner had never seen his boss and best friend, Max Homa, smile so wide.

This was on Thursday as Homa was playing on the North Course at Torrey Pines and Greiner, his dutiful caddie, pointed to Homa’s wife, Lacey, and newborn son, Cam, who had come out to the course and surprised him

“He was like a kid when he saw Cam,” Greiner said.

That smile may have been topped late on Saturday as Homa sewed up his sixth PGA Tour victory with a birdie at 18 to win the Farmers Insurance Open with wife and son watching from behind the green.

“If he screams at me, I will just be smiling ear to ear,” Homa said of returning to diaper duty. “He can poop away and I’ll just be here for him.”

Homa shot a final-round 6-under 66 at Torrey’s South Course to edge hard-charging Keegan Bradley by two strokes.

Homa’s last five wins have been in come-from-behind fashion. This time he erased a five-stroke overnight deficit, which had grown to as many as six, by the turn, canning a 7-foot birdie at nine to tie for the lead. He toured the front nine in 32 en route to his second victory of the 2022-23 Tour season, including his win at the Fortinet Championship in September, and fourth win in his native state of California.

Homa became a first-time parent on Oct. 30, but it was not without its fretful moments. Lacey underwent complications during Cam’s birth, Homa has said, requiring multiples surgeries and time in the ICU.

“She had a horrendous birth, it did not go well,” Homa said during his winner’s press conference. “It was the scariest – hard to say because it was an amazing day, get a new son, Cam. It was the worst day ever at the same time.”

Homa credited his wife for being “a rock star” as a mother, allowing him to practice and focus on his play, and he wanted to pay back her for those efforts.

“I feel like I’ve almost worked harder for this because I want to spend as much time as I possibly can helping her and being with Cam and doing all the cool things, catching some smiles here and there and getting screamed at,” he said. “But I also want to be the best golfer on the planet and she knows that and she just does an amazing job letting me do both…I work hard at two things now, so it feels a little bit more difficult but it’s a million times more rewarding.”

In the final round, Homa got his first of three deuces on the day at No. 3, the first of four birdies on the opening nine. As the players turned for home, the marine layer gave way and Torrey Pines was bathed in sunshine. Among a stacked leaderboard, Homa shined brightest. He made the second deuce at No. 11, striping a 4-iron to 13 feet and rolling in the putt.

“When he made the one on 11, I said, ‘That’s a Tiger two right there.’ Cuz guys don’t make two there,” Greiner said.

But Homa surrendered the lead at 14 with his lone bogey of the day to drop back to 11 under. Homa saved his best swing of the day for the par-3 16th, flagging another 4-iron to 15 feet, the closest anyone got to the hole all day, and drained the putt.

“I’m not even looking at that pin,” Collin Morikawa, who played alongside Homa, said. “He didn’t miss a shot and that’s what you’ve got to do if you’re going to win out here.”

Homa added a birdie at 18 for good measure to finish at 13-under 275.

Bradley carded the only bogey-free round of the day with a 6-under 66. But he pulled his second shot from 219 yards on the par-5 18th into the bunker left of the green, and he was unable to get up-and-down for birdie.

“The one shot I mis-hit all day,” said Bradley, who finished 11 under, a shot better than Morikawa (69), who was alone in third.

After holding at least a share of the lead after each of the first three rounds, Sam Ryder made a costly double bogey at 15 to fall out of the lead and finished T-4 (75). Jon Rahm, who entered the final round in second place with a chance for his third win in as many starts, struggled on the front nine and shot 74, settling for a T-7 finish, his fourth top-10 in four starts to begin the season.

Homa, who represented Team USA in his first international team competition at the Presidents Cup in October, has emerged as one of the game’s best players after twice losing his card and having to return to the Korn Ferry Tour. Saturday was a gritty performance that showed just how much he trusts and believes in his game.

“It’s really easy to fake-believe that you’re a really good player but now he walks around and you can just tell that he knows when he plays well he’s going to contend and that he should be one of the best players in the world,” Greiner said.

He’s earned the respect of his peers, who think Homa is just hitting his stride.

“It was only a matter of time before he put a string together like this,” Morikawa, a fellow Cal Bear, said.

“He’ll be challenging for No. 1,” CBS’s Colt Knost said. “He’s that good.”

Homa has become the rare social-media star, who also can pull off being a world-class player. If he can balance those acts, why not this parent thing too? He’s already looking forward to the day that he can tell Cam about the time daddy took down some of the best at Torrey.

“I will tell him this story ad nauseam and he will probably think I’m the worst for it, but this will be my corny dad story that I will tell every Thanksgiving or something,” he said, adding, “he’s not going to remember this, so I’ve got to win again.”

While there may be bigger victories still to come, Homa will always remember his first victory as a parent with a special keepsake. As he waited to do an interview, Homa took the Titleist golf ball he had used, which has the No. 25 inscribed on it, the basketball number of a high school buddy who passed away, and in black Sharpie he added, “For Cam.” Then he shoved it back into his pocket for safe-keeping and wiped his eyes.

Sam Ryder’s a creature of habit, Jon Rahm hot on his heels for third straight win and No. 1 and Tony Finau takes advantage of new life among takeaways at Farmers Insurance Open

“This is ultimately what we want, right? That’s why we play,” Sam Ryder said.

SAN DIEGO — Sam Ryder is attempting to win his first PGA Tour title in his 147th start. Breathing down his neck is Jon Rahm, the hottest player on the planet, who is bidding to become just the fourth player in the last 25 years to win in three straight starts. And lining up behind Rahm are five players who competed in the Presidents Cup. No big deal for Ryder, if he’s to find the winner’s circle for the first time. But to be the best, Ryder knows he’s going to have to beat the best, and he’s embracing the challenge.

“This is ultimately what we want, right? That’s why we play,” he said. “I can’t recreate that anywhere else in my line of work, so it’s just exciting, it’s fun.”

Ryder finished with 12 straight pars at Torrey Pines’ South Course on Friday, and posted an even-par 72 to remain at 12 under and two strokes ahead of Rahm. Ryder began the day leading by three strokes but took three putts at the second and watched a host of top players climb a little closer to the lead. Ryder made his only birdie at the par-5 sixth hole and continues to be rock solid when he has missed the green – 9 of 10 in scrambling this week.

“Overall, I’m very pleased,” he said. “Starting the day with a lead, ending the day with a lead, pretty satisfied.”

Ryder said he’s a creature of habit, something he picked up playing baseball in his youth.

“We’re a very superstitious bunch, the baseball players. It’s like if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it kind of thing,” he explained. “I remember where I was in Omaha when I won (on the Korn Ferry Tour), I was sitting at the same seat at the bar. I’m not going to that level, but just sticking to what I’m doing. It’s nice to kind of feel the same. I can’t control the weather or the conditions, my tee time, things like that. If I can control my environment as much as possible, it helps you feel a little bit more comfortable.”

He may not be sitting at the same bar stool, but he has been eating the same meal everyday at Urban Plates, a restaurant he described as “semi-healthy.” And his meal of choice?

“It was just a little chimichurri steak and some sweet potatoes and broccoli and a little rice. Pretty simple,” he said, adding that he washed it down with sparkling water.

Ryder has a big task ahead of him in the final round but he said he has won at every level. “This is next on the list,” he said. “Whether it’s tomorrow or whether it’s down the road, I believe that’s going to happen at some point. Just trying to enjoy the journey and the ride and all those things, too, as much as possible.”

2023 Farmers Insurance Open Saturday tee times, TV and streaming info

Everything you need to know for the final round at Torrey Pines.

The PGA Tour’s West Coast swing has moved from the Coachella desert to the shores of San Diego for this week’s 2023 Farmers Insurance Open.

Torrey Pines, which hosted the 2021 U.S. Open, again is the site of the second stop in the West Coast Swing. Although the North Course was used during the first two rounds, the South Course is what players have battled down the stretch.

The tournament is a Wednesday-to-Saturday format once again this year, with the NFL’s AFC and NFC conference championship games scheduled for Sunday afternoon and evening. That means Saturday is the final round.

Jon Rahm, searching for his third win in as many starts, shot 6-under 66 and is at 10 under with 18 holes to play, but he trails Sam Ryder by two shots heading to Saturday. Tony Finau shot 8 under on moving day and is in third.

Watch: CBS mic’d up Max Homa during the Farmers Insurance Open, and it was a great viewing experience

Max Homa being mic’d up was fantastic for golf fans.

Thanks to Max Homa and CBS, golf fans were treated to a spectacular 15 minutes of television on Friday.

During the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in California, Homa agreed to let CBS mic him up on the par-5 13th hole. Homa, who was in fourth at the time at 7 under, spoke with CBS analysts Trevor Immelman, Ian Baker-Finch and Frank Nobilo about how to play the hole, with conversations ranging from course management to shot strategy and everything in between.

Homa put an AirPod in his left ear, and the announcers began talking to him as he walked toward his ball in the fairway. He talked about hitting his cut shot off the tee and how the wind would carry it where it needed to go.

He was also asked about how to decide whether to go for the green in two or lay up and what would go into his decision.

Homa decided to go for it in two, and he pulled his ball left, saying he hit it off the toe. When he got up by the green, Homa called for a rules official when his ball became embedded and he got a free drop. His second shot landed above the front left bunker by the green.

“I’m sure this is just in a peach of a lie,” Homa joked when walking to the green. And one he got to his ball? “I’m not going to touch it.”

After dropping his ball to play his third shot, Homa continued his jokes.

“I’m exhausted,” he said standing on the side of the hill.

His third shot landed on the green, and he two-putted for par. Homa took the AirPod out of his ear before hitting his putts.

Homa is known for being one of the best follows on Twitter because of his sense of humor, but his personality was displayed plenty when being mic’d up. He was witty and engaging while not being afraid to open up on what he was thinking during the middle of the round. Homa finished at 7 under and T-4 after his third round.

Players have worn mics before, like in the different editions of The Match, but never in a competition setting like on the PGA Tour.

The Match prepped us for what this would be like, but it was even better than imagined. Kudos to Homa and the CBS crew for doing something new that was engaging for the television audience.

After the round, Homa talked about how the experience went.

“I think it went well. There were a couple bumps, but overall I was pretty happy with it. I hope the fans at home liked it and I hope that we can do something like that, if not the same thing, going forward. That will be up to the people much smarter than me. I thought it was good. I thought it was good to have insight on the golf course. Obviously it’s going to take us as players being a lot more flexible, but this is an entertainment product and that means we should entertain.

“We’re entertainers and I’d like for the players to be flexible. If it makes you super uncomfortable, that’s all good, but it wasn’t so bad, that was the first rendition. Hopefully, like I said, people at home appreciated it and enjoyed it because I just think it’s a little different than in an interview. You’re learning about a hole, about not just the player but about the tournament and the golf course and what it takes to be playing, you know, high-level competitive golf.”

Taylor Montgomery’s high-level play continues, Max Homa earns new title among takeaways from Thursday at Farmers Insurance Open

If you missed the action Thursday at Torrey, no worries, we have you covered.

SAN DIEGO – After holding a share of a lead for the first time in his 425th career round on the PGA Tour, Sam Ryder shot 4-under 68 on Thursday at the South Course at Torrey Pines to claim his first solo lead at the Farmers Insurance Open.

“It’s kind of why we play, so just trying to look around and enjoy the moment,” he said.

Ryder has had a knack for keeping his card – six straight years running – but is winless in 147 starts with a pair of runner-up finishes.

Ryder’s second-round 68 on the tougher South Course lifted him to a 36-hole total of 12-under 132 and three strokes better than fellow playing competitor Brandon Steele. It ties the largest 36-hole lead this season on Tour.

On a typically sun-drenched day, blustery conditions created indecision at every turn for the field of 156.

“We knew today was going to be like a put your helmet on and kind of get ready for a battle,” Ryder said.

Seventy-four golfers shot even-par 144 or better to make the cut.

2023 Farmers Insurance Open post-cut odds, leaderboard, players to watch for Friday, Saturday

Here’s everything you need to know for the “weekend” at Torrey Pines.

The “weekend ” is here at Torrey Pines, one day earlier than normal. To avoid a collision with NFL Conference Championship Sunday, the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open is being held Wednesday to Saturday.

Thursday’s second round has come and gone with many big names firmly in contention with two rounds to go.

Jon Rahm was in danger of missing the cut for most of the day before going on a back-nine tear. He played Nos. 5-8 of the North Course at 5 under to get to 4 under for the tournament.

Jason Day was 6 under standing in the 18th fairway of the South Course when his second shot into the par 5 found the water. He was unable to get up and down, but he’s still at 5 under with a chance to win his third Farmers.

Max Homa made four straight birdies on his front nine Thursday to vault to the front page of the leaderboard. He’ll tee off Friday at 6 under, six back of Sam Ryder.

Leaderboard, odds, percent chance to win

Position Player Score Odds to win Data Golf percent chance to win
1st Sam Ryder 12 under (+330) 30 percent
2nd Brendan Steele 9 under (+650) 17.9 percent

T-4 Taylor Montgomery 6 under (+1000) 6.8 percent

T-10 Collin Morikawa 5 under (+1100) 5.4 percent
T-10 Andrew Novak 5 under (+8000) 0.5 percent
T-10 Ben Griffin 5 under (+4500) 1.3 percent

Players to watch

Max Homa: Three of the world No. 16’s PGA Tour wins have come in the state of California. He’s struck the ball incredibly well during the second round at the South Course ranking third in SG: Tee to Green. If he can minimize mistakes, Homa has a good chance of catching Ryder over the final two rounds.

Taylor Montgomery: The Tour rookie has been in the mix all season long. Montgomery finished solo fifth last week at The American Express and in all has eight top 20s in nine starts (four top 10s). He can roll the rock with the best of them, so if his putter gets hot, watch out.

Sahith Theegala: The fan-favorite sits at 6 under through two rounds, six back of Ryder. Theegala can make birdies in bunches which is exactly what you need to be able to do to close a large gap. He’s still searching for his first win on Tour.

Will Zalatoris leads list of notables to miss the Thursday cut at Farmers Insurance Open

Zalatoris missed a birdie putt at the last that would have awarded him a Friday tee time.

Welcome to your rare Thursday 36-hole cut report.

The wind huffed and puffed and blew half the field at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on their way out of town. It took even-par 144 to survive and advance and claim a Friday tee time and remain alive with a chance to hoist the trophy and go home with the winner’s surfboard on Saturday.

It will be a big field with 19 players tied for 54th place, including Rickie Fowler and Tony Finau, who both made birdies at the last to give themselves a chance to try and catch 36-hole leader Sam Ryder (-12). But not everyone was so lucky. Here are some of the notable names to miss the cut.
