Wyndham Clark Wins Pebble Beach Pro-Am After Weather Cancellation
Wyndham Clark has been declared the winner of the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after the tournament's final round was canceled due to inclement weather. Despite the shortened event, Clark secured his third PGA Tour victory and expressed his excitement about winning at Pebble Beach.
Cancellation of the Final Round
The final round of the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was postponed to Monday due to heavy rainfall and strong winds. However, after further assessment by the PGA Tour and local authorities, it was decided to cancel the round for the safety of all involved.
The storm and high winds were expected to continue into Monday morning, leading to a shelter-in-place order for the Pebble Beach community. As a result, the tournament results were declared final through the conclusion of 54 holes.
This meant that Wyndham Clark, who held a 1-stroke lead after the third round and shot a record-setting 12-under 60 on Saturday, secured his third PGA Tour victory as the winner of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Clark's Mindset during the Weather Delay
Despite the uncertainty around the final round, Wyndham Clark tried to keep his focus on the possibility of playing. However, he admitted that it was difficult to ignore the likelihood of a suspension. He spent the day engaging in activities to take his mind off golf and assess the storm's damage.
It was during a pingpong match with his friend that Clark received the call declaring him the winner of the shortened tournament. He expressed his joy and gratitude, highlighting the significance of Pebble Beach in his career.
Clark's impressive Saturday round, which included more than 150 feet of putts and a record-breaking score, showcased his improved putting performance after recent changes in his technique. He credited his new putting coach and adjustments for his success.
Legacy and Future Plans
During his post-tournament interview, Wyndham Clark addressed rumors about considering a move to LIV Golf. He confirmed that he had meetings with the organization but ultimately declined in favor of pursuing his career on the PGA Tour. Clark expressed his desire to chase records and become one of the top players in the world.
He emphasized that his dream has always been to win PGA Tour events and chose his legacy over other opportunities. Clark's dedication to his goals and his passion for the game were evident in his performance at Pebble Beach.
Moving forward, Wyndham Clark aims to continue his journey on the PGA Tour, motivated to achieve great success and leave a lasting impact in the world of golf.
