Dustin Johnson, who had a strong week last week at Riviera, won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Not to mention how cool it is the receive the trophy from the grizzled movie genius Clint Eastwood. Johnson who shot a final round 74 still had enough to win by one thanks to the two 64's he shot on Thursday and Saturday. He now leads the FedEX Cup with 771 points, with Steve Stricker only trailing by 13.
I think the bigger and more surprising story of the week is the inspiring play of David Duval. Duval had rounds of 67-68-67-69 to finish T2 with J.B. Holmes at 15-under.
Could this be the rebirth of Duval's career? We have the rest of the year to debate that issue. But remember he was at one time number one in the world, holds a major (2001 Open), and one of only three to shoot a 59 on the PGA Tour. (just for curiosity sake, Al Geiberger and Chip Beck are the other two)
Other notable finishes include:
- Phil Mickelson; T8 (-11)
- Jim Furyk; T35 (-6)
- Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia, Mike Weir; all T52 (-3)
- John Daly; missed three day cut with rounds of 69-73-72
Cheers,
