San Diego native puts back issue behind him, ponders possibility of etching his name alongside six other local players to win title at Torrey Pines
Among the prizes afforded the Farmers Insurance Open champion is a cool trophy that features a Torrey pine, an even cooler check for $1.5 million and a surfboard with a coolness factor somewhere between the trophy and check.
Sunshine is in the forecast this week at Torrey Pines for the tournament that follows a Wednesday through Saturday schedule for the second straight year. Rahm has two victories at Torrey Pines. He won the 2021 U.S. Open here, four years after claiming his first PGA Tour victory at the 2017 Farmers. Shauffele finished tied for 34th last year, eight strokes behind the winner. His best finish in seven appearances came in 2021, when Schauffele tied for second.
“It was just a tight spot there. My team was really quick to diagnose it, assess the scans and MRIs, get the right eyes on it.” The tournament begins on the 10th tee of the North Course for Schauffele, who is paired the first two rounds with J.J. Spaun, another SDSU alum, and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama.
