PGA Tour: Farmers Insurance Open final results here
"Play 'til the final whistle!" " It ain't over til its over" "That's why we play 4 rounds "
You know all the sporting phraseology, and it all applied at this years version of the Farmer Insurance Open.
Right from the get go Jon Rahm, the best golfer in the world right now made a bogey 5 at the first, but he's been recovering from that for the last 6 months.
But then a drive into the "unknown" at the par 4 5th, lead to a pulled 2nd into the thick rough 50 yards from the pin, 3 hacks like we mortals to get to the green, a 6 footer for a double bogey 6. Another bogey at the 7th, out in 39 and he was suddenly out of contention after his last bogey on the 10th.
+2 74 was his final which should have been good news for his playing partners leader Sam Ryder and Tony Finau.
Not so. Ryder was E through 10 holes, but a double at the 15th and a bogey at 17 finished his chances after being so steady, at times brilliant through 3 rounds. Finau went out in 38 and never got back in with his 73.
So who was going to step into the vacancy at the top for the title ?
Max Homa holds the trophy after winning the Farmers Insurance Open
Keegan Bradley put in a great round of 66 but was just too far back, and that left Max Homa 68 70 71 -7 through 3 rounds.. or 5 behind Ryder when play began.
He put on a shot making clinic, sunk more than enough curling putts for a 66 and at -13 won it by 2 shots.
PRIZE MONEY: It was his 6th Tour win, 4th in California worth $1,566,000 out of the $8.7 prize fund.
