PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Rob Oppenheim was in the stands at NGR Stadium last Sunday when his beloved New England Patriots authored a historic comeback to win the Super Bowl. A week later, he was in between the ropes with the Patriots’ head coach, Bill Belichick, and hoping to write his own storybook ending.
“I was joking with my father,” Oppenheim said Saturday night, “that if the Patriots can come back from 28-3, there’s stranger things [that can happen]. Not saying it’s something like that, but anything is possible.”
Oppenheim begins the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am eight shots behind Jordan Spieth, so this likely won’t be the site of his first PGA Tour title.
