Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Jordan Spieth, Jason Day chase defending champ Brandt Snedeker

The PGA Tour returns to the beautiful setting of Monterey Peninsula this week. Brandt Snedeker, meanwhile, heads back to Pebble Beach to defend his Pro-Am title.

Snedeker, who has already won once this season, broke the scoring record at this event last year. He will be a threat to repeat as long as fatigue doesn't become a factor. He's playing in his third event in as many weeks.

All three courses at this tournament (Pebble Beach Golf Links, 6,828 yards; Spyglass Hill Golf Club, 6,960 yards; and Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course, 6,873 yards) are all short par 72s that yield a plethora of birdies and scoring opportunities.
