List Wins Farmers Insurance Open

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Luke List knew he had a long wait coming after he finished his impressive final round eight groups ahead of the other leaders, so he fetched a cookie to occupy his 3-year-old daughter when he settled down to watch from the Torrey Pines dining room with his family. Two hours later in the California gloaming, List secured an even better treat for little Ryann List. “She’s been telling me for a long time, ‘Daddy, I want a trophy,’” List said. “And I finally got one.” List earned his first PGA Tour victory with a birdie on the first playoff hole Saturday, holding off Will Zalatoris well after sunset to win the Farmers Insurance Open. List began the final round five shots back of leaders Zalatoris and Jason Day, but made seven birdies in a 6-under 66. He had to exercise his patience and preparedness before learning if he had a shot to win in his 206th tour start. His PGA Tour career began in 2013, six years after he turned pro out of Vanderbilt, but was quickly interrupted by a two-year trip back to what was then the Web.com Tour.
