MAX HOMA EARNS SIXTH TOUR TITLE AT FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN The roller coaster of Max Homa's career has reached unprecedented heights of late. Anchored by a consistent hope, the upward trend is only continuing. Homa earned his sixth PGA TOUR title in a Saturday finish at the Farmers Insurance Open, carding a final-round, 6-under 66 at Torrey Pines' South Course for a two-stroke victory over Keegan Bradley at 13 under. Homa trailed 54-hole leader Sam Ryder by five strokes into the final round outside San Diego but played a nearly flawless round with six birdies and a bogey, highlighted by birdies on both of the back nine's difficult par 3s, to emerge with the Farmers' signature surfboard trophy. Homa has won in four of his last 29 starts on TOUR; he accrues 500 FedExCup points and moves to No. 2 on the season-long standings. It's his fourth TOUR title in his home state of California; he remembers attending the Farmers as a high schooler, and this marks his first victory as a dad - son Cam Andrew was born last November and was on the scene at Torrey. Homa, who lost his TOUR card twice early in his career, is set to ascend into the world's top 15 for the first time. Don't expect him to stop now. "I always remind myself that, ‘You've seen the darkness of this game. Enjoy this. Enjoy the beauty of it.' People chanting my name, things I could have never imagined," Homa said in the Saturday twilight. He enjoyed it, indeed. PEBBLE BEACH BOUND The PGA TOUR returns to the golf paradise of Pebble Beach for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. 2017 champion Jordan Spieth headlines the field, with Tom Hoge returning to defend. Viktor Hovland and Matt Fitzpatrick are back in action for the first time since the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Hovland has had a solid 2022-23 campaign thus far, plus a victory at the Hero World Challenge. Joel Dahmen is set to join the field and tee it up on TOUR for the first time since becoming a father on Jan. 19. Other notables include Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson and former FedExCup Champion Justin Rose. Ben Silverman, who won on the Korn Ferry Tour last week in the Bahamas, is among the sponsor exemptions. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will once again use its three-course rotation: Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula CC. Among the 156 celebrities teeing it up this week are recently-retired soccer superstar Gareth Bale, NFL QBs Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen, and plenty of big names from entertainment and music including Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Eric Church, Darius Rucker, and of course, Bill Murray. The winner at Pebble will take home 500 FedExCup points. VIDEO OF THE WEEK MIC CHECK "There was definitely a lot of new pressure, but it was fun ... I think it's only going to feed me." - Farmers 54-hole leader Sam Ryder, who played with Jon Rahm and Tony Finau on Sunday en route to a T4 finish. BY THE NUMBERS 3 – Marcus Byrd earned his third APGA Tour title at the APGA Farmers Insurance Invitational, carding 4 over for 36 holes at Torrey Pines, five clear of the field in the Golf Channel-televised event. Byrd earns a spot in next month's The Honda Classic, a week after receiving the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption into The Genesis Invitational. 2 – Ben Silverman claimed his second win on the Korn Ferry Tour with a playoff victory at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic at The Abaco Club on the Korn Ferry Tour. 5 – Max Homa’s last five wins on TOUR have been come from behind victories COMCAST BUSINESS TOUR TOP 10 The Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 highlights and rewards the extraordinary level of play required to earn a spot in the TOP 10 at the conclusion of the FedExCup Regular Season as determined by the FedExCup standings. The competition recognizes and awards the most elite in golf.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Geoff Ogilvy’s season, and his TOUR card, were in danger. It was enough to inspire a clutch performance in the second round of the Wyndham Championship. He birdied five of his final seven holes Friday to shoot 66 and keep his FedExCup Playoffs hopes alive. He stands at 4-under 136 (70-66). Ogilvy, 40, owns eight PGA TOUR victories, including a major and three World Golf Championships, but he arrived at the Wyndham Championship clinging to the final spot in the postseason. He was just seven FedExCup points ahead of No. 126 Cameron Tringale; the top 125 earn spots in next week’s THE NORTHERN TRUST. A missed cut would’ve led to, “a pretty depressing plane ride home,â€� Ogilvy said. He likely would have missed the Playoffs and lost his full PGA TOUR status if he failed to make the weekend. That early departure seemed likely after he made bogey on Sedgefield Country Club’s second hole, his 11th of the day. It dropped him to 1 over par, four or five shots outside of the projected cut line with just seven holes remaining. The pressure induced his best play. “It was do it or go home,â€� Ogilvy said. “If I’m playing OK, I play better when there’s a bit of pressure.â€� His rally started with a 16-foot birdie putt at the third hole. He birdied the next three holes, as well. A fortuitous bounce off a cart path left him with just a pitching wedge into the par-5 fifth hole. He stuck his 102-yard approach shot at the eighth hole to 2 feet for another birdie before parring his final hole of the day. “It’s nice to feel it. Only people who play out here understand that coming down the last few holes on Friday for the cut line is almost as hard as coming down the last few holes Sunday,â€� said Ogilvy the 2006 U.S. Open champion. “It’s different. It’s nerves on a Sunday, but pressure on a Friday. You feel uncomfortable. I have two more cracks at it.” BACK AGAINST THE WALL There are two par-5s at Sedgefield Country Club. Johnson Wagner needed just five shots to play them Friday. An albatross and an eagle helped Wagner shoot 64 on Friday and vault into contention. “It was incredible,â€� Wagner said. “I was kind of struggling early, making some pars and just hit a perfect shot. … I was lucky today.â€� At No. 141 in the FedExCup, Wagner estimates that he needs a top-10 finish to crack the top 125 in the standings. He’ll enter the weekend three shots behind leader Henrik Stenson. Wagner used a 5-iron to hole his second shot on Sedgefield Country Club’s par-5 fifth hole. He eagled the other par-5, No. 15, when he hit a 3-iron to 29 feet and made the putt. Wagner has three albatrosses in competition (two on the PGA TOUR and one on the Web.com Tour), but does not have a hole-in-one in a tournament. Wagner is accustomed to this position. This is the fifth consecutive season he’s been outside the top 125 in the FedExCup standings after July 1. He’s kept his card in three of the previous four seasons. Eight of his 11 top-10s in the previous five seasons have come after July 1. “I like to make it really hard and challenging on myself,â€� Wagner said. “I like to be outside the number at the end of the year and have to play my best golf coming down the stretch.â€� WHAT AN HONOR Arnold Palmer’s alma mater, Wake Forest University, is just 35 minutes from Sedgefield Country Club, a course that he played during his historic PGA TOUR career. Palmer was honored Tuesday with a plaque on the Wall of Champions that sits behind Sedgefield’s ninth green. Palmer’s grandson, Sam Saunders, took part in Tuesday’s ceremony. Then he got to work. Saunders started the Wyndham Championship at No. 127 in the FedExCup. He’s trying to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs for the first time in his career. He’s off to a good start in that quest. Saunders, 30, followed Thursday’s 63 with a 2-under 68 on Friday. He’s missed just five greens in two days. He’s not thinking about a Playoffs berth and his PGA TOUR card, though. “The objective is to try to win a golf tournament,â€� Saunders said. His best PGA TOUR finish is a runner-up at the 2015 Puerto Rico Open, where he lost in a playoff.
