Max Homa Came From Behind to Win the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines

By TERRY LYONS

La JOLLA - It’s certainly a bit strange not having a golf tournament to watch on a winter Sunday afternoon, especially when it brings the pristine weather of San Diego, California. That is the case today as the Farmer’s Insurance Open is in the books and Max Homa enjoys the spoils after he came from five strokes back to win his sixth PGA Tour title and fourth in his native state California. Homa’s last five wins have been in come-from-behind fashion .

Keegan Bradley (2nd) became the first player on Tour this season to record a win and runner-up.

After holding at least a share of the lead each of the first three rounds, Sam Ryder faded and finished T-4 while FedEx Cup leader Jon Rahm (T-7) earned his fourth Top-10 in four starts to begin the 2023 portion of the PGA Tour season.

Defending champion Luke List finished T-25. The last player to win consecutive Farmers Insurance Open tournaments was Tiger Woods (2005-08).
