McCarthy’s huge finish gives him a lead in Torrey Pines’ cold rain and brutal tests

San Diego – Denny McCarthy ended his painful day in the most brilliant way at the Genesis Invitational Thursday, with a 68-shot under 68 in Torrey Pines’ course The range ended a huge day, which far exceeded its reputation as a beast.

McCarthy’s lead over Séamus Power and Patrick Rodgers. Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number one player, started finding his groove after being late, missing a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole and in 70 groups.

Pro-Am is the best preparation for McCarthy and some others. It was also cold and wet, and he knew what to expect.

“I’m going to have fun with myself and try to do my best,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy dropped a 25-foot birdie putt in a bogey on the par 16 hole of the 5-5-shot closing hole to the second behind, turning to 3-wood, Pin right backward. The ball rolls to a 7-foot hawk putt.

The Genesis Invitational moved from Riviera to the terrible Southern Stadium in Torrey Pines this year as La wildfire upgraded the Pacific Palisades.

This is a good option as the tournament was ready for the farmers insurance three weeks ago. It has links to tournament host Tiger Woods, whose eight Torrey Pines as pros include the U.S. Open.

Torrey hosted two U.S. openings and seemed to be able to host another in a moment notice. Even in a steady rain, only 3 players broke 70, and only 10 players successfully broke par.

Rory McIlroy won two weeks ago at Pebble Beach, with two birdies and two bogeys in his steady racing race.

Schaffler had four birdies in seven holes and beat 2 for the rest. He failed to birdie on the five-shot five-shot route and did not apologize to two of them. He hit the third from the ninth from 180 yards – 40 yards shorter than usual.

On the 13th hole, his best two shots still made him 130 yards away.

“The driver, 3 wood, 9 iron,” he said. “Then I pumped all three too. I did-I peeled them all.”

He wore a lot of 4 and 5 tires, even the 5 wood he invested this week, mainly to help get rid of the problem.

“In terms of distance, they are definitely more focused than many other things,” Schevler said. “Often, when you get up to a 5-face, you feel like you have a great opportunity to make a birdie. But if you get your PAR to Par, you have two par-5s and you feel like you’re doing a great job.”

The pains of those two people – No. 9 and No. 13 – are rare on the PGA Tour. The most difficult hole is the fifth hole of the 461 yards entering the cold wind. In this signature event, it did not give up on birdies on the 72-person field.

“We hit 4 irons,” Morikava said. “It’s a hole that’s still a tough one, but usually you hit 8 irons.”

Woods quit at the start of the week as he was still dealing with his mother’s death last week. The trip used a solid white flag in No. 7 as a subtle tribute – White and No. 7 are important in Buddhism, with Kultida Woods.

The competition is mainly donated $8 million for relief and recovery efforts in Los Angeles by donating 100 tournament cars. Riviera pitched when she announced a donation of $1 million on Thursday.

Harris English won eight points three weeks ago at Torrey Pines, the highest score in six PGA Tour events this year and the PGA Tour since last year’s memorial The highest among them. One of the rounds is on the northern route. All four of them are in the South this week.

English is 75. Rasmus Hojgaard (82) and Adam Hadwin (83) failed to break the 80.

“It’s only 10 to 15 [mph]but here 10 to 15 are basically 25 to 30 elsewhere.

Predictions are used for step-by-step cleaning and may not be enough to eliminate the moisture that makes the course play longer and rougher. Scheffler has 5 woods in his schoolbag this week to help burst the shot. Jordan Spieth has played for the first time since he competed in the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

“Not disappointing,” Ball said. “And I think the next two days will be the same.”
