“There’s some strong holes on it”, Rose said.
Justin Rose, Dawie van der Walt, Robbie Castro, Rickie Barnes, Shane Bersch, J.B. Holmes and Spencer Levin are all tied for fifth at six under.
Phil Mickelson is only four shots back after shooting a four-under 68 at Spyglass Hill.
Jones had made six straight birdies on holes four to nine before he made a bogey on the par-four tenth and then compounded that error on 13 with a double-bogey.
Such was the case for Spieth after his opening round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a 1-under 71 that the world No. 1 described as “a bit weak”. He managed to get under par for the day with two birdies coming in.
Positions: Gonzales is tied for 29th, Stanley is tied for 64th, and Moore and Putnam are tied for 106th – all trailing leader Chez Reavie (8-under 63 at Monterey Peninsula). Dustin Johnson had a 70 at Spyglass, while Bubba Watson had a 73.
Justin Rose follows his shot from the fourth tee of the Spyglass Hill Golf Course during the first round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016, in Pebble Beach, Calif. Day matched Spieth’s 1-under 71, and Reed shot 72.
That left Reavie, whose only PGA Tour victory came at the 2008 Canadian Open, one stroke in front of Australian Cameron Smith and American Bronson Burgoon, who also played at Monterey Peninsula, after a picture postcard day of unbroken sunshine. “Just kind of a bit odd”.
“I definitely had some days there when I was in a cast and couldn’t do anything where I was wondering if it was actually going to be fixed”, he said.
Lee, enjoying a career-best world ranking of 36 following his fourth placing at the last event, was even with the card late in his first round. “I’ll certainly get better when it comes to the wedge play”.
“I feel like I am hitting the ball pretty good and then I stand over some shots and I just don’t quite have the control that I would like to have”.
So will most of the top players who played Spyglass on Thursday.
