Ludvig Aberg shot a 9-under 63 for a two-shot lead over Danny Walker and Hayden Springer in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

Matthieu Pavon earned his first PGA Tour victory thanks to a gutsy birdie on the 72nd hole. After some bunker issues with his second shot at the par-5 18th on the South course, Pavon stuffed his approach from the thick rough to 8 feet. He then made the putt for a one-shot victory.

Eleven players have pulled out from this week's event since Sunday, including popular players Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris, Gary Woodland and Akshay Bhatia.
