What a difference a week makes.
Last Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Jacob Bridgeman’s 72nd hole was quite the whirlwind. The 26-year-old, playing in the penultimate group and needing an eagle on the finishing par-5 to have a chance at squeezing into a potential playoff, sliced his tee shot onto the beach below the fairway. That yielded a lengthy rules discussion that led to Bridgeman hitting a wedge shot against the rocks, causing the ball to ricochet into the ocean. Another rules discussion ensued before a third and final one once he was on the green, with whipping winds swaying his ball. Impressively, Bridgeman salvaged a bogey.
