PGA Tour: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.. leaderboard here.
You're going to see a lot of names in my reports from this week's Pebble Beach Pro-Am that you've never heard of or haven't for a long time.
American Hank Lebioda for example hasn't been on many leaderboards, shot a -8 63 on Monterey Peninsula for the early lead. Hank from Orlando, is 29 ranked #420 in the world, hasn't made a cut yet this year, in 101 starts he's missed the cut 51 times, has never won his best result in 2022 was T15.
Aaron Baddeley is another example, he burst on the world's golf scene when he won the Aussie Open at 18 as an amateur, then defended the next year as a pro. "Badds" is 41 now, born in Lebanon, New Hampshire, his father the chief crew mechanic with Mario Andretti. They moved back to Melbourne Australia when he was 2,
He shot -6 65 on Monterey. Aaron has won 4 times since joining the tour in 2003, last time in 2016 but has managed a lot of top 25's mixed in with a good week here and there, enough to keep his card, he makes a lot of cuts, enough to keep his wife and 6 children out of harms way. He and his wife became devout Christians and all of their kids names start with "J"Jewell, Jolee, Jeremiah, Joshia, Jaddex, Jedidiah. (jumpin' jehosaphapt !!!)
Canadians:
It was a nice start for 2020 champion Nick Taylor -3 68 T24 on Monterey.
Taylor Pendrith playing Spyglass Hill is T61 1 71
Michael Gligic badly needing to make a cut is T76 E 72 on Pebble Beach
Ben Silverman playing on that sponsor exemption is T99 +1 73 Spyglass Hill
Unique Cut Line:
Since there are 3 courses the cut line is not made until 54 holes, However only the top 60 and ties will make it to Sunday instead of the usual top 65.
Here is the twist, those finishing 61-65 will get a MDF (Made did not finish) and will be paid accordingly.
