English takes lead at Torrey as Mickelson opts out
Print Edition
HARRIS English fired a six-under par 66 on Friday to grab a two-stroke lead at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, as five-time major winner Phil Mickelson joined Tiger Woods on the sidelines.
English had six birdies and no bogeys on the North Course at Torrey Pines, the easier of the two layouts used in the first two rounds of the US$6.3 million US PGA Tour event. Former world No. 1 Woods hobbled off with an aching back after 11 holes of his opening round on Thursday, while Mickelson posted a 72 on the North Course to miss the cut.
English, a two-time winner on the US tour, leads the weekend charge with a 10-under total of 134. American Nick Watney fired a 65 to head a group on 136 that also includes Scotland’s Martin Laird, who posted a 68, and Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas, who signed for a 69.
Nicholas Thompson, who led the first round with a 64, carded a 73 and was alone in fifth on 137. Australia’s Jason Day and England’s Ian Poulter headlined a group of 10 players tied for sixth on 138. The first round was completed Friday morning after fog delays totaling more than two hours on Thursday.
