Farmers Insurance Open highlights: Harris English scrambles his way to 5th PGA Tour win
Harris English is back.
The 35-year-old picked up his first win since the 2021 Travelers Championship on Saturday, capturing the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. English shot 1-over 73 in the final round, good for 8-under 280 for the week, but it was enough to hold off Sam Stevens, who signed for a 4-under 68 and finished second at 7 under.
English hit only nine greens in the final round, but his outstanding scrambling, especially on the back nine, propelled him to victory.
Check out all of the highlights from the final round of the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open:

Andrew Novak buries bomb birdie putt to take solo lead
It looked like Andrew Novak's birdie streak was going to end at two, but nope. From the back of the green, he hit a big swinging putt to the front hole location and the ball slowly trickled its way to the cup and in. Three straight birdies, and Novak is at 9 under with a two-shot lead after an English bogey.
Insane putt from Novak! 😱

Wind causing havoc at Farmers
It's windy in the final round, and the leader are sliding backward. Potgieter, after an opening birdie, took three shots to get on the green at the par-3 third and made double to move to 6 under. English remains at 8 under but 1 over for the round, and after a pair of bogeys to start, Andrew Novak hit a brilliant shot into the third and made a birdie. Englishis the solo leader at 8 under, Novak and 7 and Potgieter at 6, and there's a big group chasing at 4 under.
Leaders underway at Torrey Pines
The leaders are off and have completed their first hole. Andrew Novak hit his tee shot right and was forced to layup, making a bogey. However, 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter made a birdie, only the eighth of the day at the opening hole, to get to 8 under. Then Harris English missed his par putt, meaning he bogeyed the opening hole and was tied with Potgieter up top.

Aldrich Potgieter has history on the line
Stats guru Justin Ray points out a trend of younger players winning in the past six years on the PGA Tour. Aldrich Potgieter, a rookie, can add his own name to this list with a win today.
From 1970-2018, only 5 players on the PGA Tour won before age 21: Ballesteros, Mickelson, Woods, McIlroy and Spieth.
If Aldrich Potgieter wins today, it will be the 7th time it's happened since the beginning of 2019.— Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) January 25, 2025
