Even though it's 60 degrees and sunny in the opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, preferred lies — lift, clean and place — are in effect for each of the first three rounds.
Why?
Well, bad weather could potentially wreak havoc on the event, as up to a half-inch of rain is in the forecast for late Thursday night into Friday afternoon, Golf Channel's Todd Lewis reported from Pebble Beach.
Therefore, with this week's tournament a three-course event (Pebble Beach, Monterey Peninsula and Spyglass Hill) the PGA Tour wants the players to have equal conditions for the first 54 holes.
