Memories of Pebble Beach
June 16th, 2010
The US Open is upon us and it returns to Pebble Beach in 2010. For me Pebble Beach is everything you expect from a test of golf and as host for the US Open will be set out to be an even bigger test. Holes 17 and 18 are wonderful finishing holes and I look forward to the drama over the course of the next four days. Mention Pebble Beach and I always remember Tom Watson in the 1982 US Open ( Watson US Open 1982). Watson played his tee shot into rough on the edge of the 17th Green. Trailing Nicklaus he probably thought it was all over however, what does he do, chip it in! A fantastic shot which was no mean feat given what I always remember about US Golf Opens and how the rough is kept long so close to the greens.
It will be interesting to see how Tiger in his current state of mind plays on a course where he triumphed so well in 2000 (Woods Pebble Beach 2000). I don’t expect him to repeat that feat and do feel that he finally has competition – Mickelson and Westwood to name but two. Here’s to an exiting weekend.
