Pebble Beach Pro-Am Picks

“When that label is said, I think if you’re in the top five or top 10, it’s the same impact”, said the American, who finished second at the Singapore Open in his last start and is feeling refreshed after a week-long break.

This week, there are lots of options for my DraftKings PGA picks since there is such a good field teeing it up. But the revelation he expected after winning a major and reaching the world number one ranking never came, or at least not in the way he expected it would when he woke up the next morning and felt unchanged. Owen, meanwhile, has been around Spieth enough to see him ask for odds and call a shot, and every now and then deliver on his pledge. And if we can win it together, even better.

The legend of Jordan Spieth grows daily. It’s already been a dramatic and action-packed start to 2016, and I look forward to what this week has in store as well. Doesn’t. Happen. With normal people!’ But even Fowler has said he won’t be considered part of the elite until he wins a major. “The ball was actually flying further than it normally does that time of year”. And it certainly shouldn’t be a big deal that when recognized after sitting down, he didn’t scoff at being approached, but instead smiled and blurted, “Can you believe I haven’t been here before?” One of the more poignant memories of that trip was seeing the Champions Locker Room (he shares a locker with four-time champion Arnold Palmer) and the Masters trophy.

You won’t find any celebrities in your DraftKings options, though, except for the people who are famous for being golfers.

His effort petered out at the CareerBuilder Challenge and then he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open, citing an ankle injury following a third-round 81 and I am inclined to draw two conclusions on that front.

“No, it’s really cool”. “The week prior I played pretty good, but I didn’t hit a ball for five days”.

“And I don’t know what it is about this place out here, but I love being in San Diego, I love the golf course, and obviously Pebble’s been great to me, too”.

We say this as if the alternative would be unnatural, but here’s the big takeaway: Jordan Spieth likes to have fun. But he waxed a little poetic with what it meant to him.

He said the one shot he remembers is when Tiger Woods holed out at the 16 hole in 2005. That’s the greatest clutch shot chip. There’s just one problem: It’s very bad to watch. It was when there was rough there.

Niner fans can still visualize Young running reckless on the Candlestick turf, Lott laying a receiver out and Dwight Clark making what will always be known as “The Catch”. A win by Spieth, Snedeker or Jason Dufner would make any of them the first repeat victor of the year.

“I’m here grinding this week”, Spieth said.

“You know those guys are going to continue to play well and it just drives me to do the same and be better, work harder, and be ready for the fight”, said Day. I’m like, you’re like 98 yards out in the middle of the fairway and he – without missing it, he just steps up, hits the shot in the air. “I don’t really have to worry about that until the end of March or the beginning of April”. While Brandt Snedeker is the obvious choice for this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, my colleague Oliver has beaten me to the punch…so I’m going to go with someone else and that man is Dustin Johnson.
