On the eve of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Lefty took some jabs at golf’s governing bodies over the distance report. “We’re the only professional sport in the world that is governed by a group of amateurs,” he said. “I wish that we had people that are involved in the sport professionally to be in charge a little bit more.” “I hate seeing the athletes be punished or discouraged from continuing to get better.” Mickelson is back at the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
as the defending champion.
