Kim backs out early at AT&T Pebble Beach
World No. 1 at 22.
The American world number one has finished no worse than joint seventh in his last seven starts worldwide while winning twice, and relishes competing in the pro-am celebrity event on the picturesque Monterey Peninsula. PHOTOS: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2016Winn told us, “This is fun”.
“I played 18 holes the last couple of days, once on Pebble and once on Cypress, so if you’re not refreshed after doing that, I don’t know what’s going to refresh you”.
Yes, the loss to Owen stung and the bobble-head has led to some amusing comments and tweets, but Spieth is having a blast this week. Remember that even though he finished in a tie for 21st previous year, he had registered four straight Top 10 results at this event. In an interesting match of amateurs, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will be playing in the same group with their pro partners, Jerry Kelly and Kevin Streelman, respectively. His game sets up well for this tournament and he absolutely loves playing in it. He’s my pick to win the tournament and will be in over 50% of my DraftKings lineups for sure. The views are spectacular.
He already is getting more attention than he wants for his global travels over the last four months – South Korea, Shanghai, Australia, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. “It’s incredible what a solid week back (in Dallas), of kind of rest and regeneration will do”, Spieth said. Are usually give Jimmy quite a bit of crap, but I feel that he’s gonna be a good play this week and I’m gonna be using him in my one and done, and my cash lineup as well. It was obviously a tough travel schedule to do.
It was that kind of an afternoon throughout the five-hole event as the gallery got to see players past and present from two different sports in a different setting.
It was nice to see him go well in Phoenix but then I started to get a little anxious he would finish a fraction too strongly and ruin everything for this week but he can still be backed at a very tempting 100/1.
“It’s hard to explain”. It’s not that they can’t dominate that course, they can, but it’s just easier for players to go really low on Pebble Beach or Monterey Peninsula, why fight that?
Spieth certainly smiles when he’s around Owen, who once had aspirations of trying to play golf for a living before music came calling.
Rodgers – an avid golfer who has a 5 handicap at Green Bay Country Club, according to the Wisconsin State Golf Association – is playing this week as the amateur partner of three-time PGA Tour victor Jerry Kelly (a native of Madison, Wisconsin).
The two are paired with Dustin Johnson and Wayne Gretzky for the first three rounds. It will also be a fun time for golf enthusiasts that play on DraftKings with thousands of dollars on the line including the featured PGA $125K 3-Wood that has a guaranteed $20,000 prize for first place.

I might be building all my GPP lineups with him because I feel that there’s a good chance that he’s going to be around 12% owned and he will win it all. We were by far the best two teams. That would be the ultimate for the week. If he gets it going, he could win at a canter.
