Three positions tie at Pebble Beach event
The Pebble Beach event is turning out to be one exciting event in golf.
This excitement has quadrupled with players like Dustin Johnson and Tiger Woods teeing it off magnificently at the event.
It has been after twenty months that Johnson has finally grabbed a breakthrough at this event, whereas Woods is making his debut at the Pro-Am event in his decade long career of golf.
Johnson was able to tee it off on a magnificent evening on the third hole, followed by an eagle that helped him score 41.
With the help of another eagle, he was able to stabilise his position in the event with a score of 9-under-63 by the end of game play on Thursday.
On the other hand, Woods from the very beginning of his campaign was able to make his position effective and stable in the tournament.
His six back to back birdies played a pivotal role in scoring 4-under-68 at Spyglass Hill. “I don’t know if it’s a good sign or a bad sign,” Woods said.
He continued, “With the scores the way they are, I thought I could have it lower than I did. The guys are just tearing this place apart with no wind. I’m not too far away from posting a good number out here”.
Even though according to pundits, Spyglass has been one of the toughest courses when it comes to scoring, it has primarily been because of the weather that golfers have not been facing much inconvenience.
At the same time, for a veteran golfer like Woods, courses and their geographical barriers are no longer a major complication when it comes to scoring.
Along with these two conquerors of the day, performances delivered by Savannah’s Brian Harman and Charlie Wi are also prominent enough.
The 25-year-old rookie was able to tie it for the fourth position with the help of 8-under 64.
Eagles scored at No. 2 and 6 helped him secure a prominent position in the event. Wi was under 8 when, at the 13th hole, he made a tap-in birdie.
He was supposed to make three birdies in last five holes. Unfortunately, he could only score one and, hence, his placement was 9-under 61.
With all such remarkable performances, the event is all set to entice people till the event prevails.
