After carding two consecutive birdies over his final dozen holes, former Louisiana State University star Landon Lyons won the APGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open Invitational Saturday, earning himself $16,750 at the Torrey Pines 27-hole event at 5 under. The total purse was $60,000.
Finishing three shots back was reigning champion Tim O’Neal. Neal came in at 2 under to earn second place. Kevin Hall, the Advocate Pro Golf Tour’s 2016 Player of the Year and the first deaf golfer on the PGA Tour, started off with a good lead on Saturday, finished third at 1 under. Lyons pushed ahead of Hall after the opening 18 holes and carding birdies on 16 and 17.
The remainder of the leaderboard finished under par.
