The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am wraps up on Monday, February 11. It’s said that the weekend broadcasts are some of the worst golf in sports. The pace of play is downright brutal. For golf fans, they dread the one week a year where Wayne Gretzky and Larry the Cable Guy tee up together. Yes, it’s a beautiful course. The golfing, not so much.

Mickelson Duels Casey at Pebble

Even the pros held that trend together. Phil Mickelson and Paul Casey were the final pairs of the tournament. They took more than two hours to play the first six holes.  They battled both a week that soaked the course, a random hail storm and then a long delay on Sunday morning until they could tee off. Sunset loomed at 5:40 PM PST. Even with Mickelson and the lowered expectations, there was little watchable golf played Sunday.

The final hour of Sunday did redeem the rest of the weekend though. Mickelson got into a groove, fighting against both the clock and his opponent, Casey. With the impending suspension of play due to darkness, PGA Tour rules chief Mark Russell joined the two as they walked out to the 16th hole. When he asked about continuing to play, Mickelson joked that he wanted to finish the 16 and then play all the way. Casey, who wasn’t swinging good, wanted to call it a night. Still, Phil insisted he could see the ball fine.

Though Mickelson is a tour Legend, Casey stood up to him, refusing to even putt on the 16th. The tour blew the horn to suspend play. Mickelson, standing at the next hole already, was shocked.

After a rough start, the saga made for a great deal of drama and watchable golf. Mickelson holds a three-shot lead over Casey currently.

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).
