Fred’s plasters, if you have to play Pebble Beach, offers some advice.
Seven holeThe Par-3 short set alongside the Pacific Ocean, is the real deal, he said. A gem. If given the chance, doubles would play it in eternity.
But don’t sleep in what you follow, he said.
Indeed, it may be impossible to fall into the eighth hole.
“This hole always surprises me,” couples said.
This week, PGA Tour is playing AT&T Pebble Beach pro-amand the best are daring the course in the name. Scottie Scheffler spoken Pebble’s charm Jordan Spieth Said Hole 4 to 10 is “so good that it enters golf”. Indeed, spieth is essential for this conversation, as was shot his stuntFrom the edge of a valley, which brought eight to millions of eyes.
But couples were already closely known.
“This is a freakshow, this hole,” said the 1992 masters winner.
But while playing 8 in a video Separated from PGA Tour ChampionsHe spoke with love. As the first road creates the claustrophobia, and is separated from the aforementioned valley, and its green is the small “Volkswagen”, and is protected by bunkers, you are feeling like you done something. Golf, right?
On his ball, the couples hit 5-Dru. “If I don’t hit a 5-lace and crossed it, there is room to the right,” he said in the video. The guts went well. Stated Jay haasHis partner playing on the video day: “You can almost hit more if you went left, but then make it closest.”
The group started walking.
“If you are coming from another city or country or place to play, you want to play 7,” couples said in the video. “… This, even for the good, can destroy a good round. Better play 7 all day long. But it’s an iconic hole. It’s unique. The Earth is and is probably one of the largest holes in the world. Wouldn’t you say, Jay? “
Haas agreed.
“It’s not unfair,” couples continued. “Just take a picture when we get up there. Green looks like it’s a Volkswagen. “
Added Haas: “Well, you’ve heard the term all the time – it’s visually intimidating. That’s the number one on that list. “
Added Plessifts: “But Jay is correct – intimidation for every player is a big job. That’s a freakshow, this hole. And it’s only essentially because you’re in downhill, you are trying to judge a 190 yard blow and green is teens. “
In his second shot, with just over 175 yards needed to find the green front, couples hit 6-hybrid. He has recently changed to A head -based club configuration. His back is thankful.
Its ball found the placement surface.
“Six rescue, better than five,” couples said in the video. “But you know, I couldn’t hit it with a 6-Herkuri. I’m not stronger as much as I hate to say that. Very gentle. My old caddy, Joe Lacavasaid – what he would say – a lot of toos. Very weak, also this, very tough, not enough time. How many balls do you want to hit? Not too much. “
The group went to green. The plasters had a story about the valley.
“One of the biggest arguments Joe and I had, in the open US, hit him over the bank,” couples said. “And I knew it was a lot of club. And I said Joe, I would lie down the edge and we climbed here and we could see the red flag and he – it was a great player’s mistake because caddy know Many, what we are doing.
If Haas had ever found trouble “from folly,” couples ask. Only once, he said. They then talked about the purpose of the spieth. During the 2022 Pebble Beach pro-am, the Spieth ball ended only meters from the edge of the valley-only to give it. He survived, somehow.
“Spieth hit hit, people, I’m sure 99,999 percent of players have never had a blow to a rock like this,” couples said. “Or by hitting a building that takes me out. What spieth did here was great. Because even though you will do it every time you all your life, you just think it will fall into it.
“But yes, it’s a hell of a country.”
Some strokes later, they were at 9th.
