The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 Farmers Insurance Open from Torrey Pines.

Event Preview

After taking an exciting stop in Arizona, the PGA heads back to California to continue its tour of the Golden State, where players will now meet at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.  The famous course has hosted this tournament for the past 46 years with Tiger Woods dominating the fairways for plenty of that time.  He’s won at this event a record seven times, including four straight seasons between 2005 and 2008he also took the U.S. Open here in 2008.

Phil Mickelson has also enjoyed playing at this 36-hole course lining the Pacific Ocean and is the only multiple time victor at this tournament when played at Torrey Pines besides Woods, grabbing the trophy a total of three times (1993, 2000, 2001).  Both players struggled last week at the Waste Management Phoenix Open and are clearly not at the elite level they once were (at least for now), leaving the door wide open for new blood to come storming in.

Last season it was came down to the wire with Scott Stallings making birdie on his final hole to get to nine-under par, as he just edged out eight players that were within two strokes.  Stallings was ranked 112th in the world when he pulled out his third career victory and showed that any of the players in the field have a chance to get a win.

It is always going to be difficult if a golfer is short of the tee when dealing with the South Courseone of two tracks used over the four day tournamentas it is one of the longest on tour (weighing in at 7,569 yards).  Thirteen of the top-25 players in the world will make their way to this event as they try to keep lesser known players at bay.  This list will be led by No. 5 ranked golfer Justin Rose as he makes just his second PGA TOUR start of the year.  With such a strong field going into this one, let’s take a look at a few sleepers and long-shots who could come out of the woodwork and put up some head-turning performancesand bring you some serious fantasy points in the process.
