But on Thursday at Torrey Pines, the infamous Southern California winds reached a point of no return — the tour had to stop the second round as gusts exceeded 35 miles per hour. Balls began to move on the greens, and tournament officials have no choice but to sound the horn whenever that happens.

Torrey came out with a back-alley scowl Thursday in the wind-whipped second round of the Farmers Insurance Open that was delayed at one point for 1 hour and 25 minutes. It was diplomatically rude to all, from the long hitters to short putts.

The field for this week's Farmers Insurance Open includes six past champions, including two players who have won twice at Torrey Pines.
