PHOTOS: Fallen trees do damage, delay final round at Torrey Pines
After inclement conditions postponed the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday, Monday's start time at Torrey Pines has been delayed after a number of trees fell overnight due to the heavy winds.
17-year-old Ryan Ruffels, who made the cut in his pro debut this weekend, poked fun at the tournament's title sponsor after seeing the damage this fallen tree did to a Bentley in the parking lot.

Ben Crane, a five-time winner on tour, joined in on the fun with another shot and a word of optimism for the vehicle's unfortunate owner.
100's of insurance agents at the course today so filing a claim should be breezy. pic.twitter.com/FTDn2RBdjM

Several other photos on Twitter show there's still quite a bit of cleanup to be done, on and around the course, before play resumes:
