Rain or shine, Torrey Pines are always a test

San Diego – Idyllic San Diego can be “American Best City”, but the best and brightest PGA tour should be forgiven about the examination of marketing Moniker after another brutal journey into the southern course Torrey Pines.

Maybe it’s too good a thing with a circle that stops in Torrey Pines in less than a month after the devastation Los Angeles Wildfires was forced by officials to move the Genesis invitation from the Riviera Club to the Turkish course.

It seems like yesterday when social media spanked when the tour opened the recording season in the capalua, as if Hidniki Matsuyama 35-under the winning total was afront in the tournament and greenery. But these days look a long time after the second round at the south flow.

Average assessment 1. days (74,278) would rank as the hardest tour of this season, just ahead of that, wait for that … The average points in the southern course of last month insurance farmers who are currently tuning in the degree of difficulty.

“Very hard. I love it,” Collin Morikawa said, who opened with 73 and had five lead shots that held Denny McCarthy. “It’s just a demanding golf course and you have to hit the veins. It’s rough up, you have to hit the greenery. You just love to go out for such courses.

“You have a few courses that it is hard to know that just no matter what you will fight and when you have time, such a wind, that’s much more challenging.”

The conditions on Thursday would be an outer leaf if not stopping last month along the cliffs they buy over the black beach. The cold, stable rain loaded players all round and the winds glued to 25 mph to fill the blustery test. It should not be a surprise that only 13 players from 72 people have managed to publish subplassers.

“Today is a challenging day and this is a golf course that disputes you in different ways. I felt like I made a lot of good things there, I went out really good start and hang there,” Scottie Scheffler said Skrio from last week’s performance in WM Phoenix opened with a first round 70. “Time conditions changed the crowd and today we have dealt with a lot of different elements, so that overall was quite a sturdy day.”

Cold, wet, windy. I understood. But then the wet signature event would be challenging with these terms, even if he did not move from the Riviera, but not like this. The Thursday’s syllable was complicated with the conditions, but it is not the rain and the wind that makes the South Course so Beast.

Just check that the Scorecard is from insurance for farmers last month, who beat Harris English with a single-digit under the victory in the growth (8 below). Unlike time traffic, the conditions were quintessentially San Diego for last month tournament with hard and fast conditions, solid greenery and lots of sun.

“She didn’t rain and it was much warmer, and that was Santa Ana by the wind came from the opposite side. It was quite different from last time,” Michael Kim, who was tied to seventh in 1 below.

Eight months have passed because every significant rain fell in Southern California and this week “Atmospheric Rijeka” is the highest, the area saw in the year.

Rain or shine, wind or warmth, the southern exchange rate stands alone on tour as one of the most demanding tests.

“I think it’s really fun. Sometimes you always see golf courses in your best weather conditions, we usually travel at the best time, which is strange to california and usually receive some of the worst wet moist” , Scheffler said. “I think it’s interesting. The only second time we really see like this would be an open championship. It’s fun, it’s a different test and I like variety.”

With three more circles waiting in the south flow and an equally unpleasant predicted idea that a certain brand of punishing “fun” will probably be relative to whom you ask, but there is no ambiguity when it comes to Torrey Pines and one of the hardest Game tests.
