There are apparently six of the world's top ten at Bing's old Clambake being contested over 3 courses again this weekend on some of the world's most expensive real estate called the magnificent Monterey Penninsula, all paid for by the sponsor AT&T and the $5000 per round paid for by the corporate giants who gladly write off their green fees to play with the pros.
I didn't see many of them because the only one who broke 70 was Justin Rose who was on TV because he was being followed by teenage girls...because he is paired with Justin Timberlake...
Lesser known Chez Reavie from Wichita, Kansas (remember he won our Canadian Open as a rookie at the Abbey in 2008) shot -8 63 at Monterey Peninsula, the easiest of the three courses. Reavie has struggled with surgery on his knee and wrist which caused him to miss 2014, over the last few seasons.
Sweden's short game specialist Freddie Jacobson made five birdies for -7 65 at Pebble Beach, the only course to play over par while Cameron Smith of Australia and Bronson Burgoon each had -7 64 at Monterey Peninsula.
As for the big names, Jordan Spieth (71) failed to get up-and-down for birdies three times on the par 5s at Spyglass Hill as did Jason Day. Dustin Johnson (70) at Spyglass, while Bubba Watson was disappointing,(73) and Patrick Reed could only manage 72.
Canadians : Mike Weir (PB) +5 77 is back from his travels to the middle east while David Hearn (MP) T16 -4 67. T39 Austin Connelly (PB) -2 70, T65 Nick Taylor (SH) -1 71
