With good Pebble memories, Hovland (70) ‘comfortable’ at AT&T
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Viktor Hovland almost didn’t commit to playing the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week.
Yeah, he actually considered passing on a return to a place that was so special place to his rise to prominence as an amateur phenom.
Frustrated with missed cuts in two of his first three starts this year, he considered taking time off to regroup, even though he won the U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach in 2018 and was low amateur at the U.S. Open here last year, when he set the championship’s record for lowest 72-hole score by an amateur (280).
