Harris English made a single birdie and two bogeys to sign for a final-round 73 on the South Course at Torrey Pines to win the Farmers Insurance Open by one shot at 8-under.

This is the American’s fifth PGA Tour victory in his 340th start and his first since the 2021 Travelers Championship. He is now 2-for-4 in converting the 54-hole lead/co-lead to victory, the first time was at the 2021 The Sentry.

“It’s never easy. You think it would get easier being in this position a lot, then winning four times out here, but it never gets easier,” said English.

“I knew it was going to be a tough day today, I love that. I love this golf course when it plays really tough. I knew with the wind you’re probably not going to get somebody that shoots a solid — Sam Stevens shot 4 under today, which is an incredible round, but you’re not going to really see somebody coming up and throwing a 65, 66 out there today,” he said.

“As a leader coming in the final round, you kind of like that, that it’s going to be a grind. You’re going to miss fairways, miss greens, but you’ve got to miss it in the right spot. I kind of leaned on my putter. I had that thing for a long time and started putting with it my senior year of college in 2011. Haven’t putted well the last couple weeks in Hawaii and Palm Springs last week, but I worked a lot more this week and I felt like my speed was really dialed in and every putt was going in at the right speed. It’s nice when you hit it to 40 or 50 feet a few holes and you can get it up there to tap-in distance. That really won me the golf tournament.”

English is now fully exempt on Tour through the 2027 season.

American Sam Stevens carded a 68, the low round of the day, to finish runner-up at 7-under followed in third place at 6-under by compatriot Andrew Novak who closed with a 74.

Stevens and Novak earned a spot into next week’s Signature Event at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am via the Aon Swing 5 standings.

Korean Sungjae Im and Norwegian Kris Ventura both carded 71 to finish in a tie for fourth place at 5-under.
