Amazing Spieth looking for win at Pebble Beach
“I’m giving it my best and trust me; it hurts me more than anyone else to be playing like this”.
Since the first three rounds are spread across three different courses – Pebble Beach GL, Spyglass Hill GC, and Monterey Peninsula CC – the coverage simply can’t keep up, both on television and online. Weather is always a factor on the California coastline, but the forecast looks promising this week. He is the first American since Tiger Woods to reach the top of the world ranking. “Typically we make our trips overseas in the fall, but I had a lot of fun”. 156 Professionals along with 156 amateurs make up the field including an array of celebrities, which have previously included Justin Timberlake, Bill Murray and NFL Star Tom Brady. His recent form – not that there’s much to go on – hasn’t been great.
Spieth admitted he had a similar shot previous year and messed it up.
Snedeker said it was better the second time around. Fatigue could be something to watch, considering this is his third tournament in a row. “Who knows how long it will take?”
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – A young man enjoyed dinner with friends in a crowded restaurant Tuesday night. He’s playing pretty good (although not great) right now, as his best finish is a T31 over his last six tournaments, but he has made six straight cuts and finished T40 or better in each of those except this past weekend in Arizona where he finished T60. The money has already started to trickle in for him on the back of another excellent effort in Phoenix.
“We’re in the middle of the fairway, he’s 98 yards out, there’s about a 100 people behind us in the fairway … there was about 1,000 people behind the green watching, because you know the world’s No. 1 is in the small town of Vero”, Owen said Wednesday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he’ll play with Spieth. He’s been close with three top-15 finishes to open 2016 so he is worth taking a chance on this week. It’s a risk, definitely, but it’s so easy to build a safe team this week that gambling on a player no one else has is a great way to differentiate your team on gain Fantasy points on the field.
For starters, he has tied for seventh and fourth in the past two years. That eagle stat could be especially important this week with so many short par 5s.
In other words, the cast portraying golfers, leaving divots and sending drives slightly off course, was a hit with the gallery. Hard to count on him outside his favorite courses, though.
Day has not played since he missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open last month, while battling the flu. Still, Rose has proven he can rise to the top of the leaderboard any given week. Probably why he has three Top 10s at this event in ten career starts. The former defensive back didn’t golf, but served as a captain in a surprise appearance.
One person who was looking good for the Giants was manager Bruce Bochy, who’s on a three-day holiday in the Del Monte Forest before getting down to the business of a highly anticipated season. He has the talent to contend each week, but something seems to be holding him back. “I remember sitting on a bench with Charles Schulz (the late Peanuts cartoonist) during a delay and him asking me, ‘You must be really embarrassed.’ And I really was embarrassed”.
J.B. Holmes (22) – Holmes rebounded after a poor opening round last week to finish in his second consecutive T-6.
