Harris English held off hard-charging Sam Stevens to win the Farmers Insurance Open by one shot Saturday, securing his fifth career PGA Tour victory with a 1-over 73 in challenging weather at Torrey Pines.

Harris English first flirted with fame at the Farmers Insurance Open a decade ago when he shared the third-round lead and was part of a four-man playoff for the 2015 championship. Jason Day came away the winner that year at Torrey Pines, but English was encouraged, not discouraged.

SAN DIEGO — Harris English has been on a roll at Torrey Pines before, so the feeling was familiar when he really got it going late in the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open. English finished his 6-under 66 with three straight birdies Friday, charging into a one-shot lead over Andrew Novak at 9-under 207 heading into the final round.
