3 in the world, is 18 holes away from potentially winning his third straight start and taking over at No. While Rahm heated up on a gorgeous, calm day on the municipal course overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Ryder parred his last 12 holes for a 72, missing a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th. Ryder was at 12-under 204 through 54 holes while Rahm was 10 under. He shot an 8-under 64, the best round of the week on the South Course, to move into third place, four shots back. Rahm said Torrey Pines has been his favorite venue since “before I ever did anything, really.

3 in the world and trying for his third win in as many starts, made a double bogey on the par-4 seventh hole and was continually left frustrated on the South Course. Rahm won The American Express at PGA West in the Coachella Valley last weekend and the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua two weeks earlier. Players will switch courses on Thursday, with stronger wind in the forecast, and play the final two rounds on the South Course. PGA Tour rookie Sam Stevens and Andrew Novak had the best rounds on the South Course. “The main thing on the round today, with the tee shots I hit on 6, 7, 12 and 13, I was 3-over par," Rahm added.

Jon Rahm struggled to a 1-over 73 at Torrey Pines South while Sam Ryder, Aaron Rai and Brent Grant all shot 8-under 64 on the more forgiving North Course to tie for the first-round lead at the Farmers Insurance Open.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — U.S. authorities have seen a 97% decline in illegal border crossings by migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela since Mexico began accepting those expelled under a pandemic-era order, the Biden administration said Wednesday. Border crossings by migrants from those four nations had risen sharply, with no easy way to quickly return them to their home countries. The Texas-led lawsuit seeks to stop large-scale humanitarian parole for those four countries, which may total 360,000 people a year. A surge in Cuban and Nicaraguan arrivals in December led to the highest number of illegal crossings recorded during any month of Biden's presidency, the administration reported last week. Authorities stopped migrants 251,487 times along the Mexican border in December, up 7% from November and up 40% from the same period a year earlier.

Come Saturday night, Rahm can finally retake the top spot in the Official World Golf rankings — something he somehow hasn’t done yet despite what has been an incredible stretch of golf. List, after starting the final round five shots back of the leaders, beat Will Zalatoris in a playoff to win the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open. And at Torrey Pines, where he won the 2021 U.S. Open and got his first career Tour win, it feels like the perfect spot for him. Depending on how Rory McIlroy does on the DP World Tour, Rahm could finish as bad as solo third and still get the top spot. "I would clearly say whatever Jon Rahm's game is is pretty good for Torrey Pines," Thomas said Tuesday.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — San Diego County will pay $12 million to settle a lawsuit by the family of a man who died after he was beaten, shocked with a stun gun and hogtied by sheriff's deputies in 2015. It is a far lower payout than the $85 million that a jury awarded in the case last March. At the time, it was the nation’s largest civil rights award for a custody death. Phounsy, 32, died after an April 13, 2015 confrontation with nearly a dozen San Diego County sheriff’s deputies, including one who later served jail time for assaulting women while on duty. The county medical examiner concluded his death was accidental and the result of the long struggle with deputies.

For decades, visitors to the oceanfront park between San Diego and Tijuana could easily converse and touch, but access gradually diminished from the U.S. over the last 15 years. While Trump built hundreds of miles, Biden has pursued small projects in Texas' Rio Grande Valley; Yuma, Arizona; and San Diego. The San Diego project involves 0.3 mile of double-layer wall that currently rises 18 feet, Fanestil said. “The proposal to ‘dip’ the primary border wall to 18 feet for a small stretch near the center of Friendship Park is a token and inadequate gesture,” Friends of Friendship Park said in a statement.

Advocates say the Biden administration has agreed to lower part of a border wall planned in the southwest corner of the continental United States.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — Illegal border crossings by Cubans and Nicaraguans rose sharply in November while overall migration flows were little changed from October, U.S. authorities said Friday. The snapshot is the latest detailed account of who is crossing the border from Mexico amid preparations to end a Trump-era asylum ban. High costs, strained diplomatic relations and other considerations have complicated the Biden administration's efforts to use Title 42 on some nationalities, including Cubans and Nicaraguans. Venezuelans were seen far less after Mexico agreed on Oct. 12 to begin accepting those expelled from the United States under Title 42. The vast majority were allowed into the United States under Title 42 exemptions in San Diego.

Doing so would likely be challenged in court because asylum law says people who enter illegally are entitled to seek protection.

Prosecutors can only file charges when they ethically believe they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” the statement said.

SAN DIEGO — (AP) — The Biden administration said Monday that it would expand temporary legal status for Haitians already living in the United States, determining conditions in the Caribbean nation were too dangerous for their forced return. The Homeland Security Department said Haitians who were in the United States Nov. 6 could apply for Temporary Protected Status and those who were granted it last year could stay an additional 18 months until Aug. 3, 2024. The administration has extended temporary status for several countries and expanded or introduced it for Haiti, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Myanmar, Cameroon and Venezuela, reversing a Trump-era trend to cut back on protections for those already in the United States. Haitians who enter the United States after Monday's announcement will be ineligible for TPS, authorities said, though that may do little to discourage some. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called last week for an expansion and extension, said more than 100,000 Haitians will be eligible for temporary status under Monday's announcement.
