Amateur beats pros on tough Torrey South to win APGA Farmers Invitational

South African Kieron van Wyk, a senior at the College of Charleston, had never been to California in the 23 years of his life before this week. He’d never seen the Torrey Pines South Course until he walked it outside the ropes on Saturday while following groups in the final round of the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open. He’d never struck a shot on the two-time U.S. Open track until his first competitive shot on Sunday morning.
