Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main topic is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. Yet beyond the stars, much is at stake for all players, some even before the tournament officially begins.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
In the Monday Qualifier, 60 players battled for four spots at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful participants were two German players. Thomas Rosenmüller tied with Swedish Henrik Norlander for first place 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 on hole 10, he stumbled with two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but stayed at the top. Crucially, Rosenmüller reliably turned the par-5s into birdies to climb the leaderboard.
American Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul shared third place at five under par, also securing spots at the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, who also started on hole 10, played a formidable back nine with an eagle on the first hole, two birdies, and no bogeys. Rosenmüller and Paul join the German contingent at Torrey Pines.
