Wyndham Clark crowned winner as final round of AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am canceled due to severe weather
The highly anticipated final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was unfortunately called off on Sunday night due to severe weather conditions. The decision was made by the organizers as the coastal region faced potential winds gusting up to 60 mph and an approaching storm, rendering the course unplayable.
Throughout Sunday morning, the start of the round was twice delayed, but eventually, the tournament had to be cut short. The 80-player field, which did not have a cut, had to accept the unfortunate yet necessary ending. Furthermore, the Tour had already ruled out the possibility of a Tuesday finish due to logistical constraints.
Interestingly, the cancellation of the final round led to a rare occurrence in the golfing world. It was the first time since 2016 that a round had to be called off. Mother Nature’s unpredictable behavior truly affected the outcome of this prestigious tournament.
Amidst all the disappointment, one name emerged victorious – Wyndham Clark. The golfer created history on Saturday when he shot a sensational 12-under 60, setting a new course record at Pebble Beach. With nine birdies and two eagles, Clark displayed an extraordinary level of skill and precision. Moreover, he made almost 190 feet of putts, the most by any competitor at Pebble Beach since 2003.
This win not only marks Clark’s third victory on the PGA Tour but also his first since his impressive triumph at the U.S. Open last summer. Clearly, he has continued to showcase his exceptional talent and has solidified his position among the top golfers in the world.
Coming in a close second was Ludvig Aberg, who finished just one shot behind Clark. Aberg’s fantastic performance showcased his abilities and determination to compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, Matthieu Pavon secured a respectable third-place finish, displaying his prowess on the challenging course.
As the players pack their bags and move on from the canceled Pebble Beach Pro-Am, all eyes will now turn to the upcoming Waste Management Phoenix Open. The PGA Tour will continue next week, providing golf enthusiasts with another opportunity to witness exciting performances and memorable moments on the course.
