SAN DIEGO – It’s not easy leaving this seaside paradise overlooking the Pacific.
But despite perfect scoring conditions for two days – light winds, sunlit skies and the ground a tad on the soft side – some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names said adios to Torrey Pines and its top-notch lodging and golf courses on Thursday.
With the cut coming in at 3 under, that meant the likes of hometown favorite Phil Mickelson, four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, three-time major champion Jordan Spieth and master blaster Bryson DeChambeau missing the cut.
The much tougher South Course got the better of those who won’t play the final two rounds. The South played nearly 4.5 strokes harder than the North Course.
Here are the notables who are headed home.
