Wicked day of wind and rain at Pebble Beach

-

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am showed its mean side Friday in high wind, rain and still no shortage of entertainm­ent. Even moving the tee times up an hour to avoid storms didn’t allow the opening round to finish before the greens held too much water to play. Seung-Yul Noh, Joel Dahmen and Rick Lamb each finished at Spyglass Hill at 4-under 68. One shot behind was Jordan Spieth, still with two holes to play at Monterey Peninsula. Spieth and Dustin Johnson caught the brunt of what amounted to a four-club wind along the coast. Johnson hit a driver, 3-wood and 4-iron into the 599-yard 12th hole and still didn’t reach the green. Asked when that ever happened on a par 5, the U.S. Open champion said, “Never.”
