Patrick Reed (31, USA) won the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open ($7.5 million in prize money). Although there was a controversy about violation of the rules, as if conscious of this, they outranked the second place by five strokes. Im Seong-jae, who once took the lead, finished in 32nd place, losing 7 strokes in the second half.
Reed hit 4 under par 68 with 1 eagle, 3 birdies and 1 bogie in the 4th round of the tournament held at Torrey Pines South Course (par 72) in San Diego, California, USA on the 1st. With a final total of 14 under par, 274 shots, the runners won the championship with 5 shots.
This resulted in Reid’s 9th PGA career win. Reed has been consistently winning at least once a year, except in 2017, since his first win at the Wyndham Championship in 2013.
On this day, Reid continued to be tied for first place with Yon Ram (Spain) and Victor Hoblan (Norway) until hole 5, and then took the lead with a 14m eagle putt on hole 6 (par 5). Later, while Hoblan violated the bogie in holes 14, 15, and 17, he ran away with four strokes and took the victory.
In this competition, Reid was also controversial about violations of the rules. The problem was that the second shot that fell into the left rough from the 10th hole (par 4) of the third round the day before was lifted before the officials came. The officials who arrived late made a decision to drop without penalty, and in the end, Reed did not lose at-bats with a par in the hole. During the 2019 Hero World Challenge, Reid was also controversial in violation of the rules, including two penalty strokes for moving sand in a bunker.
Meanwhile, Lim Seong-jae (23) tied for 32nd with a final total of 3 under par 285. Lim Sung-jae, who started the fourth round with a tie for 20th, caught a birdie in holes 2 (par 4) and holes 4 (par 4), and succeeded in 3 consecutive birdies from hole 6 (par 5) to hole 8 (par 3), once leading the way. It climbed on, but in the second half, it was difficult.
In the 10th hole (par 4) and 11th hole (par 3), he slowed down with continuous bogie, and in the 12th hole (par 4), he fell into the bunker and rough and even committed a double bogie. He also struggled with bogie and double bogie in holes 13 (par 5) and 15 (par 4).
Choi Gyeong-ju (51), who tied for fourth place on the first day, finished with a tie for 69th with a final total of 4 over par 292. Ahn Byung-hoon (30) was tied for 75th with an 8-over par 296.
