Farmers Insurance Open tips: Tony Finau could shine at Torrey Pines
With Jon Rahm a firm favourite to win the Farmers Insurance Open, Tipstrr golf expert Martin Colwell suggests that better value can be found elsewhere in the stellar field.

Last week's winner Jon Rahm has won this tournament previously, as well as winning a US Open here, so it's unsurprising to see that the bookmakers will have him at very short price in this extended field.
The South course is by far the toughest of the two layouts, with narrow Bermuda fairways overseeded with Rye grass, and protected by penal Kikuyu grass rough, all of which combine to make driving accuracy absolutely paramount.
One player who this course does suit is Tony Finau, both in terms of driving and ball striking, plus he also putts well on Poa, and he is available at 11/1.
Another supreme ball striker is Collin Morikawa is 14/1, and although he slightly imploded down the stretch to be caught and passed by Jon Rahm's charge two weeks ago, the tough set up of the south course could work in his favour.
Others to consider:
Finally, S H Kim has been in good form of late, and certainly better than his generously priced odds of 150/1 (and touching 200/1 in places) might suggest.
