Day was unable to defend his US PGA Tour title at Torrey Pines the way he would have liked last month due to a viral infection, the latest in a litany of injury or illness issues that have plagued his career. But as we’re out there Jake will tell you, he’s seen me at the happiest and some of the most… a couple of years ago I was tied for the lead with Jimmy Walker and three-putted Pebble seven times on Saturday.
Justin Rose will make his Pebble Beach debut, while Bubba Watson is back for the first time since 2007.
Love also said another vice captain, Tiger Woods, suggested getting together away from the golf course, perhaps a fishing trip to hang out and talk shop.
Next up is the first critical chunk of the season, which starts at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. What comes to mind first?
What hasn’t escaped him is the desire to get back to playing good golf and the work ethic for which he became famous. “I try to hit it as hard as I can and see where it goes after that”, said Cain. This is an important event on courses that are three of my favourite courses in the world.
What you probably didn’t know, however, is that the guy can sometimes call his shot – and that he’s used that prescience to win himself some money from his golf buddies. Monterey Peninsula is most exposed to the wind. “But over time you get better and better at it”. “I think everyone does it on the golf course”. Reed is now up to No. 9 in the latest world rankings and his play to close out 2015 shows that another win is on the horizon. “It’s a lot about pride”, said 49ers team captain and Super Bowl champion Harris Barton. “A label shouldn’t change who you are – good or bad”. Jordan’s game revolves around his putting. 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?”
“I grew up living half a mile from him, and he was my sports hero growing up in Dallas”.
Those who carry the golfers’ bags have other challenges. The best putter on the planet.
He expected a slow start to the year given his time off. But it’s the time off, he says, that sets him apart from Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler. So if he was only 50 percent, he loses the tournament by four shots instead of winning by one.
Thanks for leading us into your picks for favorites and dark horses.
“We had it (the same pairing) previous year, so we kind of already know each other’s games and we are rooting for each other”. You have to look at ball strikers, so Dustin Johnson, a past champion, is also to be considered.

Cain, who normally plays in the AT&T main event as a 6-handicap amateur, won’t be playing this year because the tournament conflicts with the Giants’ FanFest at AT&T Park this weekend. Phil Mickelson won in 1998, 2005, 200 7 and 2012.
