Stephan Jaeger Leads Farmers Insurance Open
Potential for First-Time PGA Tour Winner as Tournament Nears Conclusion
- Stephan Jaeger takes a one-shot lead in the Farmers Insurance Open after Thomas Detry's watery finish on the 18th hole.
- Jaeger, a German who lives in Tennessee, had a 1-over 73 and was at 11-under 205 through 54 holes.
- Matthieu Pavon of France and Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark were at 10-under while Detry, of Belgium, was 9 under after his 73.
- There could be a first-time winner on the PGA Tour after the final round as Jaeger has never won on tour, and neither has any of the eight players within three shots of him.
- Five players were tied at 8 under while nine were 7 under, including Xander Schauffele, a San Diegan who is ranked No. 5 in the world, and Tony Finau.
