SAN DIEGO—Sam Ryder extended his lead to three shots in the Farmers Insurance Open with a 4–under 68 in challenging wind in the second round Thursday, Jan. 26, on Torrey Pines’ South Course while Jon Rahm had an eagle and three straight birdies late in his 5–under 67 on the easier North Course to get under the cut line.

Ryder survived both the Santa Ana wind and the tougher South Course with just one bogey to reach 12–under 132 and take a three-stroke lead over Brendan Steele, who shot a 70 on the South Course. Tano Goya was two more shots back after a 67 on the North Course.
