PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Patrick Cantlay played Pebble Beach Golf Links for the first time with his father when he was 12.
It was a special memory.
So was his tie for ninth at the AT&T Pebble Beach in 2013, his first top 10 as a professional.
Even his tie for 48th in this tournament was memorable three years ago, because he proved something to himself in making his return from a back injury that derailed his career for almost three years.
“In a weird way, it was an accomplishment to finish a golf tournament, just because I hadn’t played in one for so long,” Cantlay, 27, said.
