Harris English Leads Farmers Insurance Open with Stellar Third Round
Harris English surged to the top of the leaderboard at the Farmers Insurance Open with a late birdie blitz in the third round, finishing with three consecutive birdies to card a 6-under 66. His strong performance on Friday at Torrey Pines South Course gave him a one-shot lead over Andrew Novak heading into the final round. English, a four-time PGA Tour winner, is seeking his first victory since the 2021 Travelers Championship and is familiar with the challenges of Torrey Pines, having previously lost in a playoff here in 2015.
Novak, still chasing his first PGA Tour win, posted a bogey-free 66 to stay within striking distance at 8-under. Meanwhile, 20-year-old South African rookie Aldrich Potgieter sits in third place at 7-under after a remarkable eagle on the par-4 12th hole, where he holed out from 173 yards. Potgieter, who became the youngest winner on the Korn Ferry Tour last year, is making waves in his rookie season.
The tournament has been marked by challenging conditions, with strong winds disrupting play earlier in the week. Forecasts predict more wind for the final round, which could make the already difficult South Course even more treacherous. English acknowledged the tough conditions, stating, “It’s going to be a grind. This course is really tough, one of the toughest we play on Tour.”
Other notable players in contention include Joel Dahmen, K.H. Lee, and Ludvig Åberg, who battled through illness to stay in the mix. With the potential for a wild finish, English will need to maintain his composure and capitalize on his strong approach play and putting to secure the victory. The final round promises to be a test of skill and resilience as players navigate the demanding course and unpredictable weather.
