Torrey Pines South shines as leaders make push in the second day of the TML & Father Son event.
La Jolla, CA
If Day 1 was a dystopian battle against the fog, Day 2 at Torrey Pines was a masterclass in coastal beauty and championship difficulty. Moving from the North to the legendary South Course, players were greeted by bright San Diego sunshine from the first tee to the final putt.
The change in atmosphere was total, but the challenge remained immense. While the visibility issues of the previous morning vanished, they were replaced by the South Course’s sheer length and its signature poa annua greens. With the Farmers Insurance Open less than a month away, the course is in peak condition, punishing any shot that finds the thick, "tour-ready" rough.
In a major shift at the top, Donald Miller and Zachary Miller moved into the lead, following up their solid opening round with a 72 to sit at 2-under par for the tournament. Day 1 leaders Aiden and Darren Canada remain well within striking distance at 1-under.
Dale Syta and Mark Ramos maintained their lead in the Open Division, grinding out a 77 on the difficult South Course to stay three shots clear of the field.

Range finders were useless, and targets were obscured by a white wall of fog. Players were forced to rely on feel and yardage books, yet remarkably, the field battled through the "blind" start to post solid scores in preparation for tomorrow's shift to the South Course.
Beyond the fog, the primary story was the course setup. Playing just weeks before the PGA Tour arrives, the rough is arguably as dense as these amateurs will see all year. Navigating the fairways was a necessity, as the "buttoned up" tournament setup made reaching greens from the rough nearly impossible.
As the host course of the PGA Tour Farmers Invitational, two U.S. Opens, and the 2025 Genesis Invitational, you probably know most of the holes on the South and many on the North by heart. This year, why not grab a friend, parent, or child and compet...
