Besides Stephan Jäger and Matti Schmid, two more German pros qualified on Monday for the Farmers Insurance Open.
At the 2026 Farmers Insurance Open, the main talking point is Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. But beyond the stars, a lot is at stake for the golfers, some even before the official start of the tournament.
PGA Tour Monday Qualifier
At the Monday qualifier, 60 players competed for four spots in the tournament at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. The qualifying event took place at the Mission Viejo Country Club. Among the successful players were two Germans. Thomas Rosenmüller shared first place with Swede Henrik Norlander at seven under par. Norlander impressed with five consecutive birdies on the back nine. Rosenmüller, on the other hand, spread his nine stroke gains throughout the round. Starting on hole 10, he slipped up with two bogeys on holes 7 and 9 but remained at the top. Crucially, Rosenmüller reliably converted the par-5s into birdies to lead the field.
With five under par, American Hunter Logan and Jeremy Paul tied for third, also qualifying for the Farmers Insurance Open. Paul, who also started on hole 10, played a remarkable second nine with an eagle on hole 1, two birdies and no bogeys. Thus, Rosenmüller and Paul complete the German contingent at Torrey Pines.
