Singh Melts at the AT T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

Steve Lowery, number 305 in the world rankings, topped Vijay in the 1st playoff hole to win the check and trophy Sunday to extend his win streak to 1 win per every 200 tournaments entered. Singh had the match halfway through the final round but uncharacteristically choked to give up the lead, needing a birdie at the last just to get himself into the playoff!

The birdie that got him in the playoff was a beauty though as he had to wait around while the amateur in the group bashed it up the fairway but he coolly knocked his short approach close and made the bird. That feeling didn't last long because 1 hole later Lowery was hoisting the cup and shaking hands with Mr. Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood.

Pebble Beach has got to be one of the most incredible golf scenes on the planet! The family stopped by there last year on our way home from a road trip up north and ate lunch out on the terrace overlooking the 18th green. It was not only the most expensive lunch I've ever eaten but also the most spectacular views imaginable!! Next time I'm there will be to play, not look... Maybe a Pebble Beach / Tattoo Golf tournament?
