I photographed the final round of the Buick Invitational in La Jolla, CA at Torrey Pines. It was another beautiful day in sunny Southern California. For this update I decided to upload photos of the champion Nick Watney (in Blue) and a personal favorite and runner up Camilo Villegas (in White). It was a great match and it came down to the final putt on the 18th hole but Villegas couldn’t pull it out. I photographed 36 players in the first half and then followed the leaders for the duration.

I photographed Golf for the first time this year during the Buick Invitational in La Jolla, CA at Torrey Pines. The course is very nice but sometimes the backgrounds aren’t as great because of tents and other obstacles that are a necessary evil of the event. I shot tight but was able to go wide in a couple of shots (see the last photo). It was partly cloudy for most of the day with the occasional sunshine, it even rained (see the 9th photo). Here are my favorite shots from the day.
