In a remarkable display of skill and precision, professional golfer Wyndham Clark electrified the Pebble Beach course with a stunning 12-under 60 during the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California. This outstanding performance not only catapulted Clark into a one-shot lead but also broke the previous course record.
Clark's round was nothing short of sensational. The US Open champion started out strong, firing four birdies and two eagles on the front nine to card an impressive 28. He continued his dominant play on the back nine, adding five more birdies to his tally. However, his bogey on the 18th prevented him from achieving an elusive score of 59, as he narrowly missed a 26-foot putt. Nevertheless, Clark's 60 was an incredible accomplishment.
In surpassing the previous low score of 62 set by golfing luminaries such as Tom Kite, David Duval, Patrick Cantlay, and Matthias Schwab at Pebble Beach, Clark etched his name in the annals of golf history. His record-breaking feat showcased his exceptional talent and ability to navigate the challenging course with finesse.
Ludvig Åberg, an emerging talent, trails Clark by just one stroke, maintaining a strong position heading into the final round. Matthieu Pavon, fresh off a victory at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, is also within striking distance, trailing Clark by two shots.
Among the British contingent, Justin Rose emerged as the top-placed player on the leaderboard, carding a bogey-free six-under 66 to sit at 11-under par, six shots behind Clark. It was a commendable round for Rose, who showcased consistency and skill throughout his performance.
On the other hand, former world number one Rory McIlroy is currently 15 shots adrift, positioned at a modest two-under par. Despite a strong reputation in the world of golf, McIlroy struggled to find his stride in the tournament, posting consecutive rounds of 71, 74, and a three-under 69.
The field remains highly competitive, with several notable names in contention. World number one Scottie Scheffler, the talented Justin Thomas, who is aiming to secure his first victory since the 2022 PGA Championship, and the seasoned Jason Day find themselves tied in sixth place at 13-under par. Day's remarkable rise up the leaderboard can be attributed to his exceptional nine-under 63 in the third round, which featured an impressive display of eight birdies, an eagle, and a lone bogey.
As the tournament heads into its final round, golf enthusiasts can anticipate an exhilarating climax to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The battle for the coveted title promises to be fierce, as the top contenders strive to showcase their skills on one of the most storied courses in the golfing world.
