Pebble Beach Improves 8th Hole's Safety After Jordan Spieth's Dangerous Pro-Am Shot

Fans will no longer be able to reenact Jordan Spieth's famous shot on the eighth hole at Pebble Beach.

Gary Young, the PGA Tour's chief referee for this week, told ESPN's Paolo Uggetti that a Pebble Beach representative informed the Tour that they had to remove the red hazard line and ensure there was enough rough grass to prevent balls from landing in the area where Spieth hit a shot over a cliff in last year's Pro-Am.

"We painted the line where we traditionally have it," Young said about the PGA's new setup at Pebble Beach this week.
