SAN DIEGO – FedExCup leader Xander Schauffele has plenty of big goals remaining this season but one of the biggest – at least in his mind – comes this week at Torrey Pines. The San Diego native has never played well at the Farmers Insurance Open – a fact that grates at him like nails on a chalkboard. After all he grew up here. He played high school events here. He went to college here. He started watching PGA TOUR golf here. But in his three attempts at the Farmers Insurance Open the 25-year-old four-time PGA TOUR winner has three missed cuts to show for it. He has yet to post a round in the 60s. His scoring average is 73.83. And that has to change. But just how will it? When asked if had any form to speak of at the iconic coastal venue going back to his junior days, he couldn’t come up with a single time. “Wait … maybe I won a high school match play event here,â€� Schauffele said while going into his deep thought tank. “No … you were second in that. Twice,â€� father and swing coach Stefan interjects. Schauffele laughed it off but he at least has some warm memories of those days when he attended Scripps Ranch High School about 10 miles inland of Torrey. “I just remember being excited to leave school early to come out to Torrey Pines, eating onion rings in the Lodge after nine holes,â€� he smiled. “My high school teammates and I would do some stupid race, we would sprint down No. 9 and the loser in the race would have to buy the onion rings. I just remember all kind of kid‑ish fun things about this property, so I need to sort of revive those thoughts and bring them into this week.â€� And therein lies the key. Schauffele feels perhaps his three Farmers Insurance Open appearances have been laced with a bit more pressure than they should have been. He has spent a huge chunk of his preparation in the past trying to say hi to as many of his friends and acquaintances as possible. This time around Schauffele intends to get away from the property more and feed into his more comfortable “recluseâ€� type existence. “Playing in front of my friends and fans is sort of what’s put more pressure on me to be impatient and to get a little more ticked off than I normally do,â€� he figures. “I always want to do that little extra … If I’m playing poorly, it will (tick) me off a little more than if I’m in New York or somewhere way away from home. There’s added pressure just to perform better.â€� But this is the first time he enters the week with much less pressure given he has already claimed the World Golf Championships–HSBC Champions and the Sentry Tournament of Champions this season. He can virtually book his place at the TOUR Championship – which he won in his rookie year –given the way he’s trending atop the FedExCup and Wyndham Rewards Top 10 lists. “Mentally, I’ve never come into this tournament with a win that fresh, so I’m in a good state,â€� Schauffele adds. “Two wins early is something new to us and it’s something I’ve always dreamt of since I’m sort of a late-in-the-season kind of guy, but hopefully we can kind of keep this trend going.â€� If the pressure is coming from anywhere it could be the fact he’s been paired with 80-time PGA TOUR winner Tiger Woods and Tony Finau during the opening two rounds. Woods has double the amount of Schauffele’s career wins just at Torrey Pines alone and always brings a huge gallery as a fellow southern California native. “It’s really cool. I’ve never played with him, not even a hole, so looking forward to the zoo that’s going to be out here Thursday, Friday,â€� Schauffele said. “This is going to be a little bit bigger of a zoo than I’m used to, but I just sort of block it all out. I’ve just got to sort of handle my own thing. “Mentally I should be okay. I’m not one to have a fanning moment there where I’m going to try to run up to him or take a picture with him or whatnot … We’re still out here to compete.â€� Schauffele remembers being part of the crowd zoo as a child at the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines when Woods made his clutch 72nd hole putt to force a playoff that he would win over Rocco Mediate. He’s now hoping to create a similar winning moment on the same patch of grass this week.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – At the end of a week of punishing wind and rain, fescue and lightning-fast greens, Brooks Koepka fires a final-round 68 to hold off a surging Tommy Fleetwood (63) at the 118th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Welcome to the Monday Finish, where Koepka became the first player to successfully defend his U.S. Open title since Curtis Strange in 1989. FIVE OBSERVATIONS 1 Koepka’s tee-to-green game is terrific, but don’t overlook his putting. He was in trouble when he hit a wedge into the fescue left of the 11th green, especially when he and his caddie, Ricky Elliott, arrived at the ball and looked down to find it nesting in long grass that was pointing away from the green. The best they could hope for was to hack the ball out and let it roll into the bunker on the other side of the green. That’s exactly what happened, and after splashing out, Koepka rolled in a crucial bogey putt from just inside 13 feet to limit the damage. He then made par putts of just over 6 feet and 8 ½ feet at the 12th and 14th holes, respectively, to maintain momentum. “I’ll tell you what,� said Elliott, who has worked for Koepka for five years, “he’s been one of the best putters on TOUR for two or three years.� 2 Koepka’s outsized will comes from his family. Few tournaments take a toll quite like the U.S. Open, but while Koepka took a few hits, he never stayed down for long. He said he was glad for the tournament’s fabled toughness, for he knew it would take out half the field and highlight his competitive toughness. When he was growing up, he said, his father, Bob, never let him win. And when the son finally surpassed the father, there was Koepka’s little brother, Chase, who teamed with Brooks in last year’s two-man Zurich Classic of New Orleans, to worry about. “Once we started beating (Bob), it was me and Chase going at it,� Koepka said. “I think that’s why he’s so good now, the competitiveness that he’s had to go through with myself and my dad. No one’s going to let it—nobody wanted to lose, let’s put it that way. There were times when I came home pouting, and Chase did, too, getting beat by him. It’s a very competitive family.� So much so that Koepka went stir-crazy when he sat out for three months with a wrist injury to start the season. “I’ve got to be competing at something,� he said. “It doesn’t matter what it is.� Click here for more on Koepka’s comeback from injury. 3 The winner wasn’t worried about third-place Dustin Johnson (70). “He’s going to win another one,� Koepka said. “I mean, we all know that.� Johnson has 18 PGA TOUR victories, including the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont, but in winning on Sunday, Koepka now takes the lead in major championships won, two to one. “Going to the gym with him, starting training, you see how hard he works,� Koepka added. “You see how talented he is. He’s physically gifted. In my mind, he’s probably one of the most talented guys ever to play the game. And the attitude, the work ethic, everything that he brings to it, I mean, in my book, he will, when he’s done, probably go down as one of the best of all time.� 4 Fleetwood and Reed will be back. Tommy Fleetwood (solo second, one back) shot a final-round 63 that could easily have been better, were it not for missed birdie putts on his closing holes. He failed to birdie the par-5 16th, and his uphill birdie putt from 8 feet, 7 inches slid by on the low side on 18. Masters champion Patrick Reed (68, solo fourth, three back) roared out of the gate but missed a par putt of just under three feet at the ninth, failed to birdie 16, and bogeyed 18.  Still, both players impressed with their play. “It was a good one,� Fleetwood said. “It was a great one. I mean, yeah, so many positives, so many great things.� Said Reed: “Through the first 11 holes, I didn’t really feel like I missed a golf shot. I was hitting my lines.� 5 Tony Finau has a dedicated team of supporters. Finau made a late double-bogey to drop from a tie for third with Johnson into solo fifth, a difference of over $200,000, but he played well, and he should win something for having the most dedicated team of friends and family. His wife, Alayna, flew to New York on Friday in order to watch on the weekend, but his coach, Boyd Summerhays, really went the extra mile. Summerhays, who grew up competing against peers like Charles Howell and briefly dabbled on the TOUR, was at Shinnecock but flew home Friday to watch his son Preston, 15, become the youngest-ever winner of the Utah State Amateur, a tournament with a 120-year history, at Oakridge Country Club on Saturday. Preston, a rising sophomore, beat University of Utah golfer Kyler Dunkle 3 and 2 to take the age record away from PGA TOUR pro Daniel Summerhays (his uncle, Boyd’s brother) by a few months. Boyd then boarded a plane and flew back to New York, and looked none the worse for wear as he watched Finau play in the last group at Shinnecock on Sunday. “Tony and Daniel kept telling him this was his last year to break the record,� Summerhays said with a smile befitting a proud dad on Father’s Day. FIVE INSIGHTS 1 Koepka averaged 318.3 yards off the tee and was second in driving distance, behind Ryan Fox (318.8, T41). Gary Woodland (T36) was third at 314.7, Jhonattan Vegas (T41) fourth at 313.2, and Dustin Johnson (solo fourth) fifth at 312.5. Finau (solo fifth) was ninth at 310.1. 2 Fleetwood hit the most fairways, with 48 (86 percent), with eight players tied for second with 47 (84 percent). Although the conventional wisdom said players wouldn’t survive by straying from the short grass, Koepka hit just 36 fairways (64 percent) and was tied for 55th in that stat. 3 China’s Haotong Li (69, T16) led the field in greens in regulation (71 percent), Fleetwood and Johnson tied for second (69 percent), and Koepka was fourth (68 percent). Alex Noren led in putting, taking 28.5 strokes per round on the greens. Keopka (29.75) tied for seventh best. 4 The par-4 14th hole, which played between 511 and 536 yards depending on the setup, played toughest of the week with a 4.567 stroke average. Koepka double-bogeyed it on the way to an opening-round 75, but made three pars after that, including a crucial save from 8 ½ feet Sunday.     5 Rickie Fowler (65, T20) bettered his third-round 84 by 19 shots and shared the record for low front nine (31) for the week with Hideki Matsuyama (66, T16) and Reed. Fleetwood shot the lowest back nine (31) and lowest round (63).
