Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and PGA Tour Pro Kevin Streelman won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California on Sunday with a 12-under final round, winning by 7 strokes.
Fitzgerald, 34, is the first African-American amateur to win the team title portion of the tournament and the seventh professional athlete to win it. Former NFL star Dan Marino last won at Pebble in 1988.
“It’s great, but I’m just hoping moving forward we don’t have to talk about color anymore,” he told reporters. “It’s just us as one as a people. Just to be here is an accomplishment. But that’s quite an accomplishment.”
Fitzgerald and his friend Streelman won wire-to-wire.

Streelman, 39, said the victory is “something that I will never forget. To win this with my buddy.”
In the main event, Streelman finished in sixth, just 4 strokes back of champion Ted Potter Jr.
Fitzgerald continues to mull over his future in the NFL, and said at Super Bowl LII that he would make a decision on his playing future in the next “week or two.”
The receiver tied a career best last season with 109 catches. He also had 1,156 yards and six touchdown receptions. He is ranked third all-time in receptions (1,234) and yards receiving (15,545) and eighth in touchdown receptions (110).
