Rose is defending his title after a runner-up finish last week in the Singapore Open on the Asian Tour. ... Among the San Diego natives in the field are Xander Schauffele and Phil Mickelson. ... The South Course is getting another U.S. Open in 2021. ... Jordan Spieth is making his debut this year. He was supposed to start at the Sony Open but withdrew on the weekend before the tournament with a mild illness. ...
