Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, all eyes are on Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. However, beyond the stars, much is at stake for many players even before the official tournament begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
Sixty players competed for four spots at the Monday Qualifier for the tournament held at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifier took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Swedish Henrik Norlander at seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine, while Rosenmüller spread his nine stroke gains throughout the round. Starting at hole 10, Rosenmüller faced two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but maintained the lead. Crucially, he reliably converted the par-5 holes into birdies to climb to the top.
With five under par, Americans Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third place, also qualifying for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, who also started at hole 10, delivered a remarkable back nine including an eagle on the first hole, two birdies, and no bogeys, joining Rosenmüller and the German group at Torrey Pines.
