Some Saturday Farmers Open Storylines To Watch...

The pairing taylor made for excitement fizzled: Tiger, world No. 1 Jason Day and Dustin Johnson are gone after an uninspired two days. However, the Farmers Insurance Open from sunny Torrey Pines still offers some intrigue and the chance for some young talents to have a breakthrough weekend.

As for Tiger, the performance paled compared to past play here, yet as Jeff Babineau notes for Golfweek.com, it was one stretch that ultimately prevented a chance to play on the weekend.

Woods will have the weekend off in SoCal due to a sloppy four-hole stretch on the South Course on Thursday that he played in 5 over par. He went from 1 under through 11 holes to 4 over through 15, and on a course that yields very little in return, barring a low round in tough conditions Friday, he basically was done.

Jason Sobel at ESPN.com considers whether Woods can take a page from his geezer peers Brady, Williams, Williams, Nadal and Federer.

It was Woods' 16th missed cut as a pro. That and other "By The Numbers" from GolfChannel.com are here.

I wrote for Golfweek about Ollie Schniederjans clicking with his ultra low ball flight. The ex-Georgia Tech star is two back of leader Justin Rose and one behind the red hot Adam Hadwin and defending champion Brandt Snedeker.

Bryson DeChambeau is one player not staying around long this week after coming from the PGA Show and getting in very little practice. Throw in squabbling with the USGA over his putter and all sorts of other fun insights, and, well, he's not dull. Ryan Lavner reports for GolfChannel.com:
