Contenders will face weather 'apocalypse' at Torrey

SAN DIEGO – Torrey Pines’ vaunted South Course annually ranks as one of the most difficult non-major venues on the PGA Tour.

Now throw in periods of driving rain.

And sustained 35-mph winds.

“It sounds like the apocalypse is coming,” Jimmy Walker said.

Which means that Sunday should be wildly entertaining for just about everyone but the 71 players still alive here at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Rookie Michael Kim has played hundreds of rounds on the South Course and can’t ever recall playing in winds stronger than 30 mph – it’s Southern California, after all.
