One and Done Selections - The Farmers Insurance Open
In this feature, our golf staff of Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar, Joe Idone, Matt Miller, Byron Lindeque and our special guest will provide their weekly golf picks every Wednesday. The purpose of this article is to present you with alternative options to consider and hopefully make your selection a much easier process weekly. With that plan in mind, let's get started!
Joe Nicely - Jason Day
Alternate -
Alright…we’re firing up Spencer’s boy this week. After a resurgent 2023 in which he won for the first time in five years and scored a runner-up finish in the Open Championship. He’s started off 2024 in solid form, gaining total strokes in each of his starts this year, a T10 at the Sentry, and a T34 in last week’s AmEx.
A two-time Farmers Open winner (2015 & 2018), Day has remained excellent at Torrey Pines in recent years, even as his game was going through an extended rough patch. He's logged three top-seven finishes in the Farmers since his 2018 victory. The Aussie offers a high floor/ceiling combo this week, and though he’ll probably be a popular OAD pick for the Farmers, I’m happy playing the early portion of the schedule by the book.

Spencer Aguiar - Tony Finau
Alternate - Jason Day
The days of Tony Finau being a plug-and-play aren't existing at this moment. Ranked all the way down at 26th in the world, the American is better-suited for a smaller payout tournament, which may sound like a wild statement after getting used to him as a top-10 commodity.
I will say that I strategically saved Finau last week to use him at the Farmers Insurance Open. My model didn't give me quite the robust outcome I was expecting after grading eighth overall. However, the weighted tee-to-green acumen stuck out most after diving into his second-place projection inside that area.
The putter continues to be a problem that hasn't found a solution, but the eight top-25 finishes at Torrey Pines should show why he is the ultimate horse for the course. I've always said Finau will win this tournament sometime in his career, so why not this year when we can get him as a somewhat contrarian choice?

Matt Miller - Sahith Theegala

Byron Lindeque - Sahith Theegala
The French have always been stingy with their money, and Matthieu Pavon was no different with his $30k he earned us last week. What a mess of an event last week was. Shout out to those that had had C Bez (unlikely) who came second and cashed the full purse for winning. The irony of the winner of a pro-am being an am, is the third turd that the golfing gods have dropped on us outright bettors to start the year. Unless they were at a chinese buffet, they should be done dropping fudge dragons on us heading to a way more predictable Torrey Pines venue.
With only a pair of starts here, Sahith Theegala will be looking to win the Farmers Insurance Open after finishes of T24 and T4 last year. He won the last tournament he played in California and two starts ago he lipped out a putt to potentially get himself into a playoff with Chris Kirk at the TOC in Hawaii. Theegala sits inside the top-40 in SG OTT the last 24 rounds while the rest of his game ranking 13th, 7th and 12th. We got form. We got local ties. We got course history. All things most of the guys shorter than him on the odds board have. But when Theegala finds himself in the mix, he does not back down, which can’t be said about most of the favorites this week.
