Watch PGA Tour Pro Miss The Cut At The Farmers In Worst Possible Fashion
Adam Svensson suffered a cruel dose of misfortune as the airhorn went off at Torrey Pines while he was about to hit a putt he needed to sink to make the cut


There's never really a good way to miss the cut, but having a putt to make the weekend on your final hole - then having the airhorn go off on your backstroke is among the worst.
Conditions were brutal during the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines with players battling through testing winds in a real slog of a day.
Svensson was playing the ninth hole on the North Course - his final hole of the day - and had around 10 feet for a birdie that would take him to one over and just inside the projected cut mark.
However, after lining up his putt, just as he drew back his putter the airhorn blew to signal that play had been suspended due to excess winds.
The 31-year-old Canadian duly tugged his putt left, tapped in for par and slumped off the green having finished on two over and just one shot outside the cut line.
Play was delayed for well over an hour and the second round is yet to be completed, but the cut line is highly unlikely to move down to allow Svensson and those on two over to sneak in.
Most of the field found it tough going in blustery conditions with huge gusts causing havoc with yardages and approaches to greens.

"I don't remember the last time it was that hard to get close to the pins," said joint-leader Ludvig Aberg after struggling to a three-over round of 75 after his sparkling opening 63.
"Just a crazy day, for sure," said PGA Tour rookie Danny Walker, who hit all 18 greens on the South Course in round one - the first time that's been done since Martin Laird in 2019.
"One of those days where you can't even think about what you're shooting, just got to do your best to hit every shot and just accept whatever happens.
"So much of where the ball's going to go is just out of your control. Did my best to just keep a level head and just take it one shot at a time. It's all you could do."
Walker shot 74 on Thursday and remains just a shot off the lead in just the third event of his debut season with a full tour card.
Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
