O’Meara Seeks 3rd Straight Victory in San Diego Open

Mark O’Meara, whose play has earned him more than $194,000 in five weeks, will attempt to win his third straight tournament of the young PGA season when the Isuzu-Andy Williams San Diego Open golf tournament begins today.

Riding back-to-back victories at the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am and the Hawaiian Open, O’Meara arrived at the Torrey Pines Golf Course Wednesday morning and played a practice round before a packed gallery.

O’Meara, whose five-tournament winnings are a PGA-best $194,463, will go against most of the tour regulars, including Tom Watson, Tom Kite and La Jolla native Craig Stadler in the chase for the $72,000 winner’s share from a total purse of $400,000.
