[아시아경제 김현준 골프전문기자] “Eagle pop.”
Daniel Burger (USA), the 15th place in the world ranking, is a reverse win. AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am ($7.8 million in prize money) held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72, 7051 yards) in California, USA on the 15th (Korea Time) 18 under par 270 strokes). It is the first victory in the 2021 season, and the fourth win in his lifetime after eight months after the Charles Schwab Challenge in June last year, and the winning prize is $1.44,000 (1.55 billion won).
Burger started from second place in the second hit and tied 2 Eagles, 4 Birdies and 1 Bogie. The second hole (par 5) ‘2 on 1 putt’ Eagle and the third hole (par 4) birdie, etc. The 6th hole (par 5) was excited, and the only example of the 8th hole (par 4) was a birdie on the 10th and 14th holes. The last hole 18 (par 5) is the highlight. After succeeding in ‘2 on’ from 250 yards away, he drew a colorful period with a whopping 9.4m eagle.
Burger is a player with a spotlight after winning the Charles Schwab Challenge, which was shut down last year due to Corona 19 and resumed. After an extended struggle with Colin Morikawa (USA), the FedEx St. Jude Classic 2 consecutive defeats in 2016-2016-2017, and after a full 3 years, he was on the “three wins” mark, revealing his presence. On this day, he hit a maximum of 347 yards, with an 83.33% green hit rate’Auger Iron Shot’ and an average of 1.67’Salt Water Putting’ per hole.

Maverick McNealy placed 2nd (16 under par 272 strokes), and Jordan Spice (above the United States), the highly anticipated “world ranking of the past year”, slumped to 2 under par and was pushed back to third place (15 under par 273 strokes). In the second round, 1 stroke was the lead, and in the 3rd round, he took the lead in the second stroke and challenged the championship in 4 years since the opening in July 2017, but the tee shot was shaken and ‘2%’ was insufficient. Jojo Championship Champ Patrick Cantle (USA)’s ‘2nd victory’ also ended in a tie for third place.
Nate Lashley (USA) had a brake on the 16th hole (par 4) triple bogie. He went on a last-minute chase by sweeping only 5 birdies up to the 15th hole (par 4), and when’putting 4’came out from a distance of only 3.6m, he was in a position to take the green with a putter and pay a fine. It is interesting to note that Lashley is the son of Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, an IT company, and a boyfriend Daniel Kang (USA) who plays an active part in the LPGA Tour. Kang Sung-hoon (34) was tied for 63rd place (2 over par 290 strokes).
