Snedeker out to overshadow Spieth at Pebble Beach

“He does all he can to get noticed like the world’s no. 1 player, but ultimately knows that he’ll never be on Jordan’s level”. “In a way that we have different sorts of golf courses, but it’s so attractive, even when it’s hard weather”.

PRIORITIES: The Pebble Beach Pro-Am is only the third tournament for Jason Day since the Tour Championship.

Should he do so, he will be eligible to take up further starts and try to match the points earned by those who make the playoffs this year.

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. The views are spectacular. The trips to the Middle East and Singapore were back-to-back starting January 24.

“Honestly, it’s something I have not gotten used to”, Spieth said. “It just is kind of a way to smile and say, ‘I told you so. Ive been doing it going back to grade school with friends, ” Spieth said. “And they will get there one day and they will probably go through the same things that I’m feeling and going through as well”.

“It was obviously a tough travel schedule to do, when typically we make our trips overseas in the fall”. It looks like a great place to be. A little exhausted in between the two events.

“And then since then, I’ve really regenerated, and I feel 100%”.

“I’m here grinding this week”, Spieth said. It doesn’t happen. So, they’re making a plaque. Several big names skip this tournament because of its quirky nature and the super-long rounds, made long by the vast amateur ranks and by TV crews stopping Bill Murray after every flippin’ shot on every flippin’ hole hoping he’ll do a Carl Spackler bit. Pebble Beach is an iconic golf course as part of a three-course rotation.

THE DEFENDING CHAMPION: Dustin Johnson is the only back-to-back victor at Pebble Beach in the last 25 years.

The AT&&T pairings were released for the first three rounds. They could certainly win the pro-am portion of the tournament as a team.

A competition between the two teams was fun to watch for fans because both teams really wanted to win.

Spieth, the reigning Masters and US Open champion, has not seen much change since ascending to the top ranking. I’ve played it when it’s been 40 degrees and you can’t – you hit 4-iron to No. 1.

The pickings are pretty slim for PGA Tour Live’s featured groups stream the first two days – unless you’ve just been dying to see David Duval swing it again. “I think that there’s just more of an interest in just kind of being nice to people”. People will be off him because he missed the cut and he was sick a couple weeks ago but I feel that he’s good now and will be under owned. That would be the ultimate for the week.

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.
