"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a golfer play as many bogey-free rounds as Scottie," McIlroy said. "He just doesn’t make mistakes."

Scottie Scheffler picked a peculiar time for a walk on the beach. It saved him at least one shot in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Twenty-seven players in the world top 30 will play for the $3.6 million winner’s check (from a $20 million purse), with the only players missing being world No. 2 Xander Schauffele ( rib injury) and LIV golfers Tyrrell Hatton and Bryson DeChambeau.

Scheffler had to find his ball and then hit from the rocky sand on the par-5 18th hole Friday at Pebble Beach.
