At Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach, USA: Ted Potter got off to a hot start for the second straight day en route to a closing round of 69 to capture the Pebble Beach National Pro- Am golf tournament by three strokes on Sunday. Potter found his groove this week in the California sunshine as he has bounced back from a broken ankle in 2014 to record just his second win on the USPGA Tour and first in five years. Potter maintained his deft touch on Sunday to finish with a 17- under 270 total and hold off a star- studded chasing pack that included Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Jason Day of Australia. “It is pleasing,” Potter said. “I struggled when broke I my ankle. You don’t know what is going to happen with your golf swing or your career. To come back from that it is unbelievable right now.” Mickelson, who shot a fiveunder 67, Day ( 70), Johnson ( 72) and Chez Reavie ( 68) finished in a tie for second at 14under 273. American Kevin Streelman ( 68) finished alone in sixth and Scott Stallings ( 66) was seventh at 12- under 275, five shots adrift of Potter, whose only prior USPGA Tour win came in 2012.
