World No. 1 Spieth is in the field at Pebble Beach. Young’s game is much improved from the first time he played in the event 20 years ago. The Japanese player beat Rickie Fowler with a par on the fourth hole of a playoff.
The Northern Trust Open at Riviera has been rain-free the last four years during the tournament. One of the two exceptions was in 2013 when the tournament finished on Monday because of fog.
The world No 1 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.

He played bogey-free in the final round at Pebble Beach for a 67 – the best score of the day – and won by 15 shots. We’re talking holing shots. Only three of Coach Chris Haack’s former hacks are entered in the field, and I’m not expecting much. I’m going to make this. “To help celebrate this anniversary, we are eager to hear recollections from fans who were watching history in the making”.
