PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — At first glance, so many memories should have been stirred. Save for this thing called weather.
It was exquisite.
Sunny, warm, benign conditions.
Spencer Levin looked around during his bogey-free trip that required a mere 66 strokes and tried to come to some sort of reasoning. “It didn’t even seem like we were playing Pebble today,” Levin said.
Mind you, the 31-year-old veteran of six PGA Tour seasons knows Pebble Beach, too. He was a standout in back-to-back California State Amateurs here — runner-up to Patrick Nagle in 2003, champion over Buzz Peel in 2004 — and he has played decently in several of his previous six starts in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
