PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — It took him a while, but Sung Kang realized that as good as his round of 11-under 60 was Friday, there was a bigger buzz going on around him.
Nine birdies, one eagle? Terrific. But, hey, isn’t that Ray Romano?
"Whenever we actually finished the holes and everybody wanted his autograph, and they were trying to take pictures, I realized 'Oh, yeah, he’s got to be really famous,' " Kang said.
The unassuming 28-year-old from South Korea had a smile on his face. Easy to do, given that he had just torn apart Monterey Peninsula to push to 11 under and into a share of the lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
