Harris English claimed victory at the Farmers Insurance Open, overcoming a challenging final round and a late surge from David Stevens. This marks his fifth career PGA Tour win.
Harris English secured his fifth PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open , overcoming challenging weather conditions and a late surge by David Stevens . English, who led after each of the first two rounds, battled through illness in his final two rounds to finish at 8-under 280. Stevens, who began the day six shots off the lead, surged into contention with a 68 for the best final round of the tournament.
Although Stevens played six groups ahead of English, his impressive final round didn't rattle the 35-year-old English, who made two early bogeys but steadied his game and calmly finished with 12 consecutive pars. English took the lead on Friday with three straight birdies to close his third-round 66, capitalizing on the mildest day of weather to make his move at the picturesque coastal course. The wind, which caused an 86-minute delay in the second round on Thursday, returned in intermittent force early Saturday on the oceanside holes, but calmed somewhat in the afternoon. Andrew Novak, who briefly took the lead, finished third at 6 under, missing out on his first tour victory with a disappointing 74. English hadn't won since surviving an eight-hole playoff with Kramer Hickok at the Travelers Championship in 2021, although he had nine top-10 finishes in the previous two seasons after missing five months in early 2022 while recovering from hip surgery. He already had a strong history at Torrey Pines, where he lost a four-way playoff to Jason Day in 2015 and then finished third at the U.S. Open in 2021. Hideki Matsuyama, the world No. 4, finished at 1 over. He'll be back in San Diego in three weeks to defend his title at the Genesis Invitational, which has been moved from Riviera to Torrey Pines
