Kang flirts with 59 and doesn’t even know it

To hear Jordan Spieth talk at the halfway point of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, one would think he’d be in a lot better shape than he is.

Hiroshi Iwata was among the standout performers at the host Pebble Beach layout, his 66 enough to join Kang on 11-under, one clear of Mickelson who was joined by Freddie Jacobson and Chez Reavie.

Kang and Phil Mickelson each brought the possibility of 59 into the picture – one early in his round, the other late.

THE KEY SHOT: Mickelson had only 11 putts on the front nine. Then, he almost lost his tee shot on the final hole and made bogey for 65, leaving him one shot behind.

“I thought I was going to shoot a lot lower than I did…”

Nevertheless, he said he was not discouraged, with the two courses he considers easier coming up in the rotation in an event in which professionals play alongside celebrity amateurs in the opening rounds. I’m going to make this’. When Kang completed his round, he was tied for the midpoint lead at 11-under.

Iwata shot a superb six under on the front nine, including an eagle on the sixth, but he found it tougher on the back nine as he levelled out with two birdies and two bogeys.

“I mean honestly, I’m only (eight) back and on Pebble, you get a couple good low rounds and you never know”, he said.

Justin Rose – who was playing alongside Justin Timberlake – is among seven players one shot further back on six under after ending his round by sinking a 50-foot birdie putt at Spyglass Hill.

Kang said Romano was wrong, but he was dead right. Using a long putter, he made a 35-footer on No. 9 and a 40-footer on No. 17. Some of them he read on his own.

The looper he picked up: Mike “Fluff” Cowan, who was not enjoying his imposed leisure time because his regular player, Jim Furyk, is recovering from wrist surgery.

The 18-year-old Ko has a 36-hole total of 8-under 136 at Clearwater Golf Club in the 54-hole tournament co-sanctioned by the European Ladies Tour and Australian Ladies PGA.

According to the report, Murray was at the Carmel restaurant Vesuvio for Justin Timberlake’s 901 Tequila party, when he became annoyed by fans getting close to him to try to take selfies with the famed comedian. You might say 2-under-par isn’t too bad, but not after a 1-under-par round before that. He’s very famous, ‘” Kang said. “He gets like nearly a third more earnings from TV drama show”.

“Obviously I’m playing with some pretty big personalities, so I’m sure tomorrow’s going to be a fun day and really looking forward to it”, he said.

“I’m hitting it great now”, said Spieth, who tied for seventh previous year. He chipped to 15 feet and saved par. “Just hit it and it went in most of the time today”.

The Web.com Tour grad came to the ninth hole at Monterrey Peninsula Country Club’s Shore Course, his 18th of the day, with a chance to shoot a magical 59. After a 6-under 66, he was in a seven-player fifth-place logjam that also included 22nd-ranked J.B. Holmes, two off the lead.
