English claimed his fifth PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open, overcoming challenging weather conditions and a strong challenge from Stevens.
English claimed victory at the Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday, securing his fifth career PGA Tour win with a 1-over 73 in challenging weather conditions at Torrey Pines . He finished the tournament at 8-under 280, marking his first tour win since 2021 and his first victory since becoming a father. Stevens , who began the day six shots behind, surged into contention with a remarkable 4-under 68 for the best final round of the tournament.
Although he ultimately fell short, Stevens' impressive performance highlighted the exciting nature of final-day rallies at the Farmers Insurance Open.English, despite facing two early bogeys in a round marred by strong winds, remained composed and finished with an impressive 12 consecutive pars. He acknowledged the inherent difficulty of winning, stating, 'I might have looked calm out there on the course, but inside, your emotions are going crazy. I know how hard it is to win. You've got to soak it all in when you do it.' In a display of steely determination, English navigated the final hole with precision, placing his tee shot on the 18th into the rough before recovering to the fairway. He then executed a successful 115-yard approach shot onto the green and calmly two-putted for the victory.Stevens, who finished several groups ahead of Novak and English, had put significant pressure on the leaders throughout the tournament. He credited his success to a combination of factors, including a hot putter and a positive mindset. Meanwhile, Novak, who briefly held the lead, struggled with inconsistency and ultimately fell short of his first tour victory. 'It was just a roller coaster on that front nine,' Novak admitted. 'Finally got it settled in on the back, but just wasn't hanging approach shots close enough to give myself birdie opportunities.' Despite the challenging conditions, Stevens' performance showcased his potential as a rising star on the PGA Tour.
