Torrey Pines Golf Course is a 36-hole municipal public golf facility owned by the city of San Diego, California. It sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean〔Torrey Pines Golf Course, 2008〕 in the community of La Jolla, just south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Opened in 1957, it was built on the site of Camp Callan, a U.S. Army installation during World War II. Torrey Pines has two famous 18-hole golf courses, North and South, both designed by William F. Bell. The South Course was redesigned by Rees Jones in 2001,〔(City of San Diego ) - Park & Recreation Dept. - Torrey Pines - history - accessed 2012-01-29〕 and is now in length from the back tees with par at 72. The logo of Torrey Pines Golf Course (illustrated: right) features a salt pruned Torrey Pine. Since the late 1960s, Torrey Pines has hosted the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour. Held annually in January or February, the tournament uses both courses for the first two rounds and the South Course for the final two rounds; it was held January 26–29 in 2012. Torrey Pines hosts the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships every June, and the Junior World Golf Championships every July. It hosted the 2008 U.S. Open on the South Course, won by Tiger Woods in a playoff. Much like Bethpage Black on Long Island, Torrey Pines has a unique method to ensure continued public access to the course. On weekends, individuals arrive as early as 6 p.m. the prior night to get in line for the first-come, first-served tee times that are given out from sunrise till the first reservations at 7:30 a.m. It is named after the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only along this local stretch of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.〔C.M. Hogan, 2008〕 ==2008 U.S. Open== Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open over Rocco Mediate in a 19-hole Monday playoff. After completing the 18-hole playoff on the South Course tied at even par 71, they went to sudden-death on the 91st hole, played on the par-4 7th hole. Mediate had trouble off of the tee and made bogey, while Woods made par to gain his third U.S. Open and fourteenth career major win, which put him just four behind Jack Nicklaus. Woods birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to force the playoff and again on Monday to extend it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torrey Pines Golf Course」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
