The Amateur winner in 2011 . . . Carl Spackler is a Pebble Beach Champion
Played at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill
PB 6972 yards Par 72 / SGH 7041 yards Par 72
Defending Champion is Rory McIlroy
Started by Bing Crosby in 1937, the first Champion was Sam Snead. The official record says he won $500, although some say it was $700 . . . What is not in dispute is that he wanted it in cash. This event is played over the two courses the first two days . . . the final two rounds are played at Pebble.
Two players have won this event five times . . . probably not the two you would think . . . Phil Mickelson and Mark O’Meara. Tiger has won only once . . . in 2000 by 2. Of course that was the year he came back to Pebble to win the U.S. Open by 15 strokes . . . that with a triple bogey in the third round.
FUN FACT: When Spyglass was added in 1967 Bing bet Jack that he wouldn’t break par. Jack shot -1 . . . to this day he has a five dollar bill signed by Bing Crosby.
This is a Premium event, big money, star studded field and NO cut. (you know what that means).
