Justin Rose has a day to remember playing with Justin Timberlake in Pebble Beach Pro-Am debut
Former US Open champion and world No 7, shoots a 6-under 66 his first time playing Spyglass Hill and spends the day listening to fans call his name. Except they weren’t calling for him, and he knew it
Justin Rose, a US Open champion and the No 7 player in the world, shot a 6-under 66 his first time playing Spyglass Hill and spent a gorgeous day listening to the fans call out his name. Except they weren’t calling for him, and he knew it.
You see him hit not maybe so many great golf shots, but then you realise, ‘Ah, that’s pretty damn special right there.’ So we all have our own skill set
His partner in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is Justin Timberlake.
“I’ve never seen a demographic like that on a golf course where you’re sort of running the gauntlet from one tee to the other. Everyone was under 21 and 80 per cent female,” Rose said. “I said, ‘OK, that moved the needle a little bit there.’”
Rose did OK himself Thursday.
He got off to a strong start is his debut at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where Chez Reavie had the low score at a tournament that needs three days to sort out because of the variety of courses.
Reavie made an eagle on the 16th hole and shot 8-under 63 at Monterey Peninsula, which played just more than 1 1/2 strokes under par and was the easiest of the three courses. Freddie Jacobson made five birdies in a six-hole stretch and shot 7-under 65 at Pebble Beach, the only course to play over par (72.06) on Thursday.
