AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am gave PGA Tour player his own bobblehead doll after reading his tournament survey

Who doesn’t like a good bobblehead doll?

Somebody at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has a wicked sense of humor.

This isn’t worthy of having “breaking news” in all caps put at the front of it, but who knew?

Back in February when the annual PGA Tour stop visited the iconic west coast resort, 49-year-old Australian Greg Chalmers filled out the tournament’s survey and suggested that the answer to all of their marketing efforts was to create a Chalmers bobblehead doll among other “Greggy merch.” After all, who doesn’t like a good bobblehead doll?

But Chalmers, who has improved to No. 1088 in the world, doesn’t exactly move the needle, although as he’s noted in other tweets he’s moving up the rankings among Gregs as the one named Norman plummets in the popularity department.

In any event, kudos to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am marketing team, who have handed out a Jordan Spieth bobblehead in past years, for having a Chalmers bobblehead doll made.

“It arrived today and honestly the likeness is uncanny,” Chalmers tweeted with tongue yet again firmly in cheek as he does look a bit too dashingly handsome in bobblehead form and someone obviously forgot he’s a lefty.

In response to a tweet, Chalmers poured on some more of his sarcasm and said, “Definitely the only thing wrong.”

If you’re not following Chalmers on social media (@GregChalmersPGA), you should. His dry wit and humorous videos from tournament sites have been a hit — remember when he smashed the garage-door opener practicing his swing in his garage? Now if only the AT&T also brings out the Chalmers playing cards that he recommended too, then the AT&T marketing effort really will go “next level,” as Chalmers put it.

Justin Rose ends four-year drought with win at 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Rose last won in January of 2019 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Justin Rose is starting to make an early case for the 2023 Ryder Cup.

The former World No. 1 ended a four-year winless drought Monday with his three-shot win at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after a wild week of weather delayed the PGA Tour’s annual stop on the Monterey Peninsula, the first unscheduled Monday finish on Tour since the 2022 Players Championship.

Rose completed his final-round front nine before play was called due to darkness Sunday night and began Monday morning with a two-shot lead at 15 under. The 42-year-old Englishman cruised to three birdies over his final nine to sign for a 6-under 66 and finish at 18 under for the tournament, three clear of Brendon Todd (65) and Brandon Wu (66), who finished T-2 at 15 under. Keith Mitchell (68) and Peter Malnati (69) finished T-4 at 14 under.

At 42 years, 6 months and 7 days old, Rose became the oldest player to win on Tour since Phil Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship. He’s also the first player from Europe to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in the tournament’s illustrious history.

“I think overall, if I had to think about one thing it was just knowing I’m trending, just sometimes when you’re trending you kind of try a little too hard,” said Rose of the win, the 11th of his PGA Tour career. “I let my good golf come forward.”

A five-time member of Team Europe at the Ryder Cup, Rose has struggled to get in the mix over the last few years. Before Monday his last victory came at the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open, but Rose has been rounding back into form so far in the early goings of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season. The 2013 U.S. Open champion has finished inside the top 30 in five of six starts and posted a T-9 at the Cadence Bank Houston Open. With the European squad fractured due to key members joining LIV Golf, the reemergence of Rose could be key come time for the matches this fall in Italy.

“I haven’t even entertained what the Ryder Cup looks like for me. Other than I want to be there,” said Rose, who owns a 13-8-2 record in the biennial event against the Americans. “But I felt like what was really important to me was getting off to a good start on the PGA Tour so I wasn’t under pressure later in the season, so I could turn my attentions to the Ryder Cup and the European Tour as and when that becomes the important part of the phase of the season.”

“One thing I have realized is obviously I haven’t been playing enough great golf,” he explained, “but when I do play half decent I do give myself chances to win.

“Obviously a win does give you a lot of belief. We always know we can do it, but sometimes you got to see the proof.”

What you missed from a busy Sunday at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Who’s ready for a Monday finish?

Who’s ready for a Monday finish?

Gusting wind and rain on Saturday at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am forced tournament officials to call play early, pushing the PGA Tour’s annual stop on the Monterey Peninsula to a Monday finish, the first at Pebble Beach since 2019.

After the third-round action finished early Sunday afternoon, the final round began at 3:20 p.m. ET. Each player completed the front nine, and of the 75 players to make the cut, 16 completed their round.

If you weren’t watching, here’s what you missed from Sunday and what you need to know for the Monday finish at Pebble Beach.

[afflinkbutton text=”Book your trip to Pebble Beach today” link=”https://www.golfbreaks.com/en-us/vacations/monterey/pebble-beach-golf-links/?cid=999740052&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=golfweek&utm_campaign=pgat_tournament_courses_q3_22_gw”]

Watch: Wearing mic for CBS, Keith Mitchell credits his caddie for calling him off a shot during live coverage of 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

The highlight of the segment was when Mitchell’s caddie called him off a shot.

Max Homa wore a mic during live coverage of the Farmers Insurance Open  on CBS and it was a huge hit. He went on to win, making the week even more special for Homa and his fans.

This week at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Keith Mitchell took his turn with the mic.

One of the first things he said was how “Homa killed it” last week.

In solo fourth and two shots back of the lead after three rounds on the Monterey Peninsula, Mitchell donned the live mic on the par-4 third hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

“Appreciate it guys for letting me come on. Easy to say yes, speaking to you, Nantz, and Trevor, especially after Max killed it last week. Let’s just hope what happened last week happens this week, right,” he quipped.

Mitchell took turns chatting with Nantz, Immelman, Ian Baker-Finch and Frank Nobilo.

After talking about his tee shot, Mitchell admitted that there’s “never a bad stroll anywhere at Pebble,” walking with his hands in his pockets as if truly on a stroll.

Lynch: Better broadcasts are here, but it shouldn’t have to be at gun point

A few minutes later, as he prepared for his second shot, Mitchell had a brief chat with his caddie John Limanti, who interrupted to back him off a shot.

“That was a nice play because over the green is dead,” Mitchell said, giving praise to Limanti. “We threw some grass up a couple times. … so right when I was about to pull the trigger, he put some grass up again and. … if you go over this green, it might even be out of bounds back there. So that was a nice call from him. We took four yards off of what we originally had and the wind kinda died.

“So that was a great, great call from Johnnie to pull me off like that.”

Mitchell’s approach stopped about 13 feet from the cup and he two-putted for a par.

Mitchell admitted he wasn’t sure exactly where his approach ended up until he heard the CBS crew talking about it.

“Thanks to you guys in my ear I know where my ball is,” he said.

More solid insight from this new CBS initiative, bringing fans closer to the game than ever before.

Aaron Rodgers wins another golf event, this time at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

“It’s really significant. It’s always been on my bucket list,” said Rodgers of the win at Pebble.

Aaron Rodgers has won more trophies in golf over the last two years than football.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback and four-time MVP won the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am alongside his professional partner, Ben Silverman, at 26 under on Sunday. The pair finished one shot clear of Peter Malnati and Don Colleran, the retired president and CEO of FedEx, who combined for a sizzling 60 in the third round. WM President and CEO Jim Fish and Charley Hoffman finished third at 23 under.

As far as his golf accolades, Rodgers previously won The Match IV alongside Bryson DeChambeau against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in 2021. A year later he teamed up with Brady to take down Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, who finished fourth this week alongside Keith Mitchell.

“It’s really significant. It’s always been on my bucket list,” said Rodgers of the win at Pebble. “I played in Tahoe for 18 years and never really sniffed higher than like eighth.

“But this is a pretty big deal for me. I’m not going to sugar coat it.”

“He’s an athlete, man. Top performer. He knows how to get it done and that’s what he did,” said Silverman of his partner. “It wasn’t like all four days or three rounds of beautiful golf, but when he needed to, when I was making doubles he was making pars. He knew how to get it done.”

Weather wreaked havoc on the event this week, forcing a Monday finish for the professionals and the amateur competition to be shortened to 54 holes.

“Josh Allen was telling me there’s going to be an asterisk by this win because there was only three rounds,” said Rodgers. “But I think that our names are going to be up there for a long time.”

Wind wreaks havoc as Viktor Hovland chases: Here’s what you missed Saturday at the suspended AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Can the low amateur at the 2019 U.S. Open catch Peter Malnati?

Viktor Hovland, aside from the No. 10 Matt Fitzpatrick, is the highest-ranked player (11th) on the Monterey Peninsula this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

And it looks like he’s going to be part of the conversation when it’s crunch time.

Hovland, who won the 2018 U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach and claimed low amateur at the 2019 U.S. Open, opened the event with a 2-under 70 at Spyglass Hill before firing a 4-under 67 at Monterey Peninsula Country Club.

Due to the weather, Hovland’s day was done Saturday after making the turn with a 2-under 34 at Pebble Beach.

He’s four back of the lead, tied for sixth.

The man he’s chasing is Peter Malnati, a player whose one and only win on Tour came all the way back in 2016 at the Sanderson Farms. Before a solid week at the Farmers Insurance Open (T-20), Malnati had missed five cuts in seven events this season, including four straight.

The 35-year-old, like Hovland, played Pebble on Saturday and had himself a round (or, at least, part of one). Starting on No. 10, Malnati birdied Nos. 11-13 and turned with a 3-under 33. He then birdied Nos. 1-3 and was 18 feet away from another birdie on No. 4 when the horn blew.

Sandwiched in between Malnati and Hovland (T-6) are Joseph Bramlett and Keith Mitchell at 10 under, and Hank Lebioda and Kurt Kitayama at 9 under.

If you missed Saturday’s half day of action, no worries, we have you covered. Find a recap of day three at Pebble below.

Maverick McNealy withdraws from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am nine holes into third round

The week is over early for the hometown kid.

Maverick McNealy had high hopes coming into the week. The California native was playing good golf coming to one of his favorite places on Earth. However, his week is over earlier than desired.

McNealy withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am during the third round citing a left shoulder injury.

He opened the event with back-to-back 71s at Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula and entered day three 1 under. McNealy called it a tournament after making a double-bogey seven at the par-5 18th, his ninth of the day. He was 2 over through nine holes.

On Friday, McNealy’s name was listed on the entry list for next week’s WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. It’s yet to be known whether he’ll play come Thursday.
