German Stephan Jaeger jumped 18 spots to take the lead in San Diego after scoring an eagle on the last hole at the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n
Jaeger hit a 64 on the second round of the PGA tournament, finishing the day 12-under par, one stroke ahead of Denmark\u2019s Nicolai Hojgaard.<\/p>\n
The German made a 35 foot eagle on the final hole, saying after the day\u2019s play that ending the round like that was \u201cexciting.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted it to kind of go middle of the green and I went right at it. It ended up landing just short of the pin and scooting kind of back fringe,\u201d Jaeger said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHad a little downhill right-to-lefter about 35-feet and it ended up curling in. It was awesome to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jaeger shot one bogey and seven birdies to go with his eagle.<\/p>\n
