PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. _ True, this is their workplace and this is arguably the most intense work week of their year. But, man, the pros just can't help but look around and notice the beauty of Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The bluffs, the waves, the flora and fauna were not lost on Louis Oosthuizen, despite the fact he was otherwise occupied by shooting 5-under-par 66 and taking a share of the morning lead in the U.S. Open. That included an eagle on the par 4 11th hole, his second hole of the round.
"Pebble to me is probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite venue for a U.S. Open. You're not going to beat the scenery and everything about this golf course," he said after his round.
