A decade after holding a 54-hole lead at the Farmers Insurance Open only to see a win slip through his grasp in the final round, Harris English has an opportunity to right that wrong. English enters Saturday’s last 18 holes at Torrey Pines holding a one-stroke advantage over Andrew Novak. A third-round 66 — including birdies across the final three holes — pushed English to the top of the leaderboard and into position for the fifth PGA Tour win of his career (first since 2021).
Whether the 35-year-old will be able to close the door will also be determined by how those behind him play. While the top of the leaderboard is not particularly star-studded, the likes of Joel Dahmen, Lanto Griffin, Brandt Snedeker, Sungjae Im and Ludvig Åberg are all within striking distance. Åberg’s opening-round 63 remains the lowest of the tournament, and while he remained co-leader through 36 holes, he fell off pace massively after going 75-74 over the crucial middle rounds.
The PGA Tour announced Friday that Torrey Pines will also host the 2025 Genesis Invitational in three weeks amid continued fallout from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, so it will be a relatively quick turnaround in La Jolla, California, with golfers not only seeking to earn money this week but hone their games for a return to the South Course in mid-February.
