Pebble Beach Golf: Accuracy Over Distance
10 Feb
Summary
- Golfers are prioritizing accuracy over distance at Pebble Beach.
- Russell Henley is a top bet due to consistent top-20 finishes.
- Matt Fitzpatrick and Shane Lowry are contenders with past success.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is emphasizing accuracy and precise iron play, with distance being less of a factor on this course. This strategic focus benefits golfers who excel at hitting greens.
Russell Henley is highlighted as a prime betting choice, having achieved ten consecutive top-20 finishes dating back to June. His recent performance includes strong approach play, and he finished T5 at this event last year.
Matt Fitzpatrick, after a slow start to his season, has found momentum, including a win in November and a solo ninth at last week's WM Phoenix Open. His proficiency in links golf and strong approach play make him a notable contender.
Shane Lowry, who finished runner-up at Pebble Beach last season, is also in contention. His accuracy with irons and recent strong finishes on the DP World Tour position him as a serious threat if his putting aligns.
