Mickelson the headliner at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am

PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/at-t-pebble-beach-national-pro-am/leaderboard.html

There is a South Korean, Sung Kang 72 60 -11 and a Japanese, Hirosi Iwata 66 66 -11 on top of this years Pebble Beach Pro-am where the busiest staff are the scorekeepers on these very private links that get over run every February with billionaires from all over the world, hacking and slashing up the Monterrey Peninsula.

However make no mistake the minute Phil Mickelson posted his 68 and 65 at Monterrey Peninsula -10, he became the much needed headliner going into this weekend.

Hi putter, not his driver was red hot on his front nine using it only 11 times, however after making an excuse me eagle bomb at 10 he cooled off making bogey's at the two par 5's, but happily settled fro 65 just a shot off the lead a position he has held before, with his 4 previous wins

He is joined at -10 by  Freddie Jacobson (69 SH) and Chez Reavie (70 PB) while Justin Rose had a 68 (MP) -9

Jordan Spieth (70 MP) is 8 shots back at -3, so needs to get his act in gear today to get any TV time come Sunday. Jason Day had a 66 at Monterey Peninsula to get within five shots of the lead.

Canadian scores; David Hearn(PB) is playing nicely at -6 67 70  Nick Taylor (MP)is -4 71 68. Austin Connelly (SH) T59 is -1 70 73 while Mike Weir (PB) 77 76 + 9.

By the way a tip of my cap to Rich Lerner and the producers of the Golf Channel who did a real nice job with background info on all the celebrities playing yesterday and of course his never ending geography lessons on that most expensive and beautiful coastline of southern California.
