2 Februari 2016Snedeker watches his victory unfoldSAN DIEGO – It was quiet enough that you could hear the “woosh” of K.J. Choi’s practice swing from 40 yards away.
There were only about a dozen people present as Choi prepared to hit his tee shot at Torrey Pines’ 12th hole in the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open. The lack of gallery meant that even the slightest sound was audible.
The Farmers Insurance Open’s Monday finish was unique, as the final group played eight holes in virtual solitude. The damage caused by the previous day’s wind meant the course wasn’t safe for spectators and volunteers, so only media and security were on hand to watch the event’s conclusion.
