SAN DIEGO – Thomas Bjorn knew exactly what he was doing at the Ryder Cup.
The matches may have been nearly four ancient months ago, but the Dane’s savvy as a captain still impresses following Jon Rahm and Justin Rose’s play Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open.
The European odd couple finished a perfect Southern California day first and second on the leaderboard, shooting 62 and 63, respectively. For the American Ryder Cup team members who teed it up at Torrey Pines it must have felt like Le Golf National all over again with the Spaniard and Englishman dropping countless putts, chipping in for birdie and looking as unbeatable as ever.
