    Nick Dunlap, the can't miss kid, had to get to the PGA Tour ....well you have to scroll all the way down the leader board to find him! Shot 76 yesterday and it a little better today, at only +1 through 13. But next to last on the board.

    Thomas Detry is killing it right now at -13 and 3 shots clear of the field through 12. Scottie is in the mix at -9 and has a -6 going for today.

    Wydam Clark has just gone bonkers today, he's -11 through 15. 2 eagles and a slew of birdies. Jason Day is -9, posted a 63. Several guys are working on -6 for the round. Scottie not taking advantage and is even after 9.

    Clark cards a 60, that could have been crazy low. His putts on 16 and 17 both were right in the heart but an inch short. His eagle putt for 59 was also right in the heart, but 2 inches short.

    New Course record though and he sits at - 17.

    Watching Scottie he's back to not making putts.

    Well Pebble's 4th round is cancelled and Wyndham Clark declared the winner.

    PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Wyndham Clark was declared the winner of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday evening when the PGA Tour canceled the final round because of wicked weather conditions that would linger into the next day and cause safety concerns.

    Clark's final stroke was to tap in for birdie Saturday, giving him a course record 12-under 60 and a one-shot lead over Ludvig Åberg.

    He never had to hit another shot.

    He came so close to a 59. His approach putts on the last 3 holes were all dead on and ended up just sort.

    Largest attendance at a PGA Tour event is always the Waste Management Phoenix Open. This isn't going to be a 20M purse like last week, so the field will not be as strong as it has been in past years, but still should be a fun event. Crowd at 16 will be rowdy as always.

    Wet and Soggy is how you'd describe TPC Scottsdale today, tournament is currently in a weather delay. Sahith Theegala is the leader at -5, through 14, there are 5 guys in the club house at -2. Speculation is that the round will be called as the course is unplayable and they are trying hard to get it back in shape but most likely round 1 will have to be finished tomorrow.

    Meanwhile down in Columbia some dude named del Solar shot a 57 today. Of course it was 1) only 6200 yards and 2) they'd had a lot of rain so it was soft. It's a Korn Ferry Event. 6200 yards means most of the par 4's are driveable.

    Well conditions were great this morning for the guys who finished their round this morning, no wind, greens soft for target golf, oh and preferred lies. Nick Taylor finished off his round in style making a birdie on 18 for 60 and a nice lead at this point. He's -11 and 5 shots up on the next guy who is Theegala.

    The afternoon wave that finished off the 1st round this AM and took advantage of the much improved conditions get to go right back out in these perfect conditions, the afternoon wave is not gong to get more than a few holes in today. Big advantage to those guys in the "right" wave.

    Of course coverage focuses a lot on 16, watched I don't know how many guys pull out 8 iron on a 180 yard distance to the pin and come up way short, finally somebody pulled a 7 iron and got it back there. It makes me wonder 1) 8 iron 180..wow 2) what do all the caddies see that makes them and the players think that 8 iron is the club?

    de Solar shot 69 today and is 1 shot behind a kid who shot 59 today.

    Shot of the day at #16, Stuart Cink who hit it inside 10 feet, but then hit a putt that I would hit and missed his birdie!

    Scottie had a good round but it could have been great if his putter had been great. Still only 4 shots back. JT has played well today. Nick Taylor was looking good tied at -12 with unknown Novak but tried to hit a safe drive on 18 and hit in a bunker instead with no chance of being on the green in 2

    Of course he hits shot 3 stiff and pulls off the par save/up and down.
