adminTORREY PINES. — Scott Stallings erased a three-shot deficit and birdied the 72nd hole on Sunday to break out of the pack and win the US PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open golf title.
Stallings secured his third win in three years on the PGA Tour with a four-under-par 68. It wasn’t always pretty, but it was enough for a winning nine-under-par total of 279.
He finished one stroke in front of a field that was so closely packed that 10 different players held at least a share of the lead during the round.
None of them had to worry about a sneak attack from world No. 1 Tiger Woods, an eight-time winner at Torrey Pines who stunningly missed the secondary cut after a third-round 79.
Nor was local favourite Phil Mickelson on hand. He pulled out on Friday night with a sore back. South Korean veteran KJ Choi was among those whose named topped the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon. — AFP.
