Clark fires course-record 60, leads Pebble Beach Pro-am
By The Associated Press
U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark had an unforgettable round at hallowed Pebble Beach when everything went his way and every putt seemed to go in. It gave him the course record Saturday with a 12-under 60.
It also might be enough to give him another big title and $3.6 million without hitting another shot at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am.
Clark was inches away from a sub-60 round on a cold, soggy course, a performance so remarkable it was nine shots better than the field average. He made five putts from 25 feet or longer. He made bogey with perhaps his best putt of the day after hitting a chip left-handed.
He finished one shot ahead of Ludvig Aberg, who missed a long eagle putt of his own on the par-5 18th hole and shot 67.
And now it’s up Mother Nature.
Rain began to fall over the final few holes, and the heavy stuff was anticipated overnight on a course already saturated. Of equal concern was ferocious wind, with gusts anticipated to be approaching 60 mph.
Gary Young, the chief referee for the PGA Tour, said officials would decide before dawn today whether the final round would have to be delayed, and then whether any golf could be played. It would be cut short to 54 holes if they determined they could not finish on Monday. to richest franchise who last summer re-signed to stay in Toronto through 2028, was named MVP.
Leafs forward Mitch Marner also had a goal, and he and Matthews were able to celebrate with teammates Morgan Rielly and William Nylander as the entire team splits the $1 million prize.
“The whole weekend in itself is special for all of us, especially the host city and the hometown guys,” Matthews said. “Nice to cap it off with a win, and everybody goes home happy.”
Now the Raiders have to decide where to go from here.
Another option is UCLA coach Chip Kelly, who according to Nfl.com interviewed twice with the Raiders before they turned their attention to Kingsbury.
