The Farmers Insurance Open, featuring around 150 players, is currently underway across two courses in San Diego.

Earlier in the day, play was suspended for 86 minutes due to high winds, impacting the tournament's flow.

Adam Svensson faced a critical 8-foot putt on the ninth hole, his last of the day, to make the cut at the tournament.

As Svensson prepared to putt for birdie, an airhorn sounded, signaling a suspension of play due to darkness.

This unfortunate timing disrupted his concentration, as he needed the birdie to qualify for the weekend.

Unlike some players who completed their rounds before the suspension, Svensson had to deal with the added stress of the interruption.

Statistically, 8-foot putts on the PGA Tour are made about half the time, but there is limited data on putts taken during such interruptions.

Ultimately, Svensson missed the putt and ended the day at 2 over par, just one shot shy of the projected cut line.

The expected cut line for the tournament is likely to remain at 1 over par, making Svensson's miss particularly painful.

Svensson had started strong on the North Course, making the turn at one under par, but struggled on the back nine with five pars and three bogeys.

This incident highlights the unpredictability of golf, where players often face circumstances beyond their control.

In contrast, competitor Mac Meissner successfully made a birdie putt on the ninth hole after pausing due to the wind, finishing at 1 over par.
