Justin Rose ran away with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and stunned the betting public

Justin Rose hadn’t won a PGA event in more than four years. A European had never won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am period.

Monday saw both streaks fall.

The 42-year-old finally picked up his 11th win on Tour by running away with the annual Pro-Am event despite delays forcing the final round to finish up Monday morning. Rose won by three strokes at 18-under par with Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu tying for second place at 15-under.

According to John Ewing at BetMGM, that was a welcomed win for the sportsbook. Only 1.5 percent of outright bets had Rose (+2500). A three-stroke victory was +650.

The veteran’s odds dipped to as low as +5000 at some books during play.

Despite opening up his final round with a bogey on the first hole, Rose went six-under on Sunday/Monday. His back-to-back rounds of 69 on Friday and Saturday stood as his worst mark of the weekend as his game only continued to heat up from there.

Tom Hoge (+2000), who won the event last year, finished tied for 48th while 2022 runner-up Jordan Spieth (+1000) tied for 63rd after finishing the tournament at even par after Monday’s finish.

Not the best tournament for the big names, but it may have been exactly what Rose needed as the season starts to heat up.
