  Torrey Pines par 3 is notoriously off.

  Try playing it as 68 down and not 38.  Big topic discussing just this issue..

  i usually play it 47 down take 16 yards off no problems wrongly marking this hole is a deliberate act by WGT to rake as many balls from unaware and trusting players one of these days they will learn not to bite the hand that feeds them
