Wyndham Clark leads after 54 holes, -17. Stanford golfer, Maverick McNealy is 11 strokes back at -6. If memory serves, the McNealys used to have a house in the Pebble Beach course. The other Stanford golfer, Patrick Rodgers is +5 and is second to last.
Clark had a course and tournament record 60 yesterday, and the course is saturated with water. Round 4 postponed to Monday...if it gets played at all.
Some interesting stats about this year's tournament:
1. As of 1/29/2024, tournament organizers said ticket sales were more than $200k higher than "last year's pace". 2022 Pro-Am ticket sales were a record, not sure about 2023. No information about walk-up ticket sales, although I can't see how there would be more if there's only three courses instead of two. Seems counterintuitive. Also, no mention of overnight television ratings, though the tournament organizers said they were counting on better ratings with the better golf field.
2. The AT&T used 300 fewer volunteers (1,600) than in prior years, chiefly because they're down to two course from three.
3. The average cost for an amateur to play was increased from $38,000 to more than $70,000.
4. Over 200 charities in San Benito, Monterey and Santa Cruz counties will share in the $18 million+ that the AT&T Pro-Am's charity raises.
5. Nick Dunlap, the first amateur to win a PGA tournament since Mickelson won in 1991, is currently last in the field at +7.
6. Rory McIlroy and Jeff Rhodes won the pro-am at -17.
