This might be the best Jordan Spieth story we’ve ever heard

“I grew up living half a mile from him, and he was my sports hero growing up in Dallas”.

As the Pebble Beach Pro-Am gets underway on Valentine’s Day, Jason Day has expressed his desire to put in some good performances this year after an injury and illness-plagued season so far.

Golf Channel will commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the last major Jack Nicklaus won with a one-hour special on his 1986 Masters victory, when he shot 30 on the back nine to win a sixth green jacket (and 18th professional major) at age 46.

We’re back in an even year, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Giants beat the 49ers on Tuesday in their annual good-natured golf confrontation in the Chevron Charity Shoot-Out, the increasingly popular prelude to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

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.

All 156 players in the field will get the opportunity to play the three layouts before the cut is made following Saturday’s third round. “I think that the biggest thing for me is to really kind of stay mentally sharp and make sure that I don’t make silly errors out there, because it’s very easy to take a long break, feel like everything’s good and then you come out and make silly mental errors”. “That (his scare last spring) was a wake-up call, it does make you start to watch it a little bit”. People really liked roster Rose just because he’s boring, but that doesn’t matter he plays good golf and he’s one of the best players in the world give him his credit where it’s due. I also limit exposure of a single golfer to around 60-80% of my lineups (I won’t have a golfer in every single one of my lineups). “That just told me I have to go out and do it more”. As you’d expect, his track record at the AT&T Pro-Am is prestine, posting a T22 in his 2013 debut before figuring out the courses and returning with T4 and T7 finishes the next two editions.

The Northern Trust Open at Riviera has been rain-free the last four years during the tournament. Somehow, he played in the tournament because he was the defending champion, but he missed the cut. He’s 20th in SG: T2G, eighth in birdie average, 29th in GIR and, shockingly, fourth in Par 5 scoring. “So as much fun as were having in between shots, Im here to win this golf tournament, ” Spieth said.

Clark was on hand along with former Pro-Bowl offensive tackle Harris Barton, who played on the same offensive line as current Palma assistant football coach Chris Dalman.

It isn’t a PGA Major but the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is one of the more coveted titles among the tour pros. The tournament has a long and distinguished history dating back to the first event in 1937.

You probably saw this on social media since it quickly went viral, but while standing on the first tee, Spieth asked Owen whether he should try out a Happy Gilmore swing in front of the fans.

Matt Jones ($7,800) – At the price I like Matt Jones this week at Pebble Beach. With two top-ten berths here at Pebble Beach, the victor of last year’s Shell Houston Open has the aptitude and course form to trouble the world’s best. Remember that even though he finished in a tie for 21st previous year, he had registered four straight Top 10 results at this event.

Ben Martin ($6,900) – Sometimes when you’re making your picks you just need to go with a gut feel, and that’s what Ben Martin is this week.

Shane Lowry: he is a pretty phenomenal golfer.

“I’m definitely looking forward to the season”, he said. He’s also averaging 291 yards on his drives. “When you want something so bad, you do everything you possibly can”. “He hits the ball as far as anybody I’ve ever golfed with”.
