2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Recap
Justin Rose Snaps 4-Year Winless Streak With Monday Victory at 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Justin Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open winner and former No. 1 golfer in the Official World Golf Ranking, is back in a familiar spot on the leaderboard—one he hadn’t enjoyed for just over four years.
2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Recap
On a Monday finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am that was delayed by high winds on Saturday, Rose finished his final round without a challenge, increasing his lead and winning by three strokes over Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu.
It was the 11th PGA Tour win of his career and the first since the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in 2019.
“An incredible week from start to finish with so much happening in my favor,” Rose said after shooting a 6-under 66 in the final round to finish with a 18-under 269 for the tournament. “Just that walk up 18, to be able to build a bit of a lead, to kind of enjoy it, was a very special moment. I think when you’re a bit starved for a win as well, the fact that it came today on a weather day like we had and at a venue that we had today was just worth waiting for.”
Rose, 42, has been eligible for every major since the Open Championship in 2010. That streak was in jeopardy for this April’s Masters, but the win at Pebble Beach put him safely into the field.
“Augusta’s definitely been a big part of being on my mind,” Rose explained. “I thought the simple way to approach it was try to play my way into the top 50 in the world … claw my way up the world rankings and make it that way.”
The win, however, made it a moot point. But the win did move him into the top 50, as he’s now projected to be 35th in the OWGR. He also becomes the first European player to win at Pebble Beach in its long history.
Denny McCarthy, who shot a 64, missed birdie chances on holes 16 and 17 that could’ve drawn him closer to Rose. He ended up at 14-under, which tied him for fourth with Keith Mitchell and Peter Malnati. There was a four-way tie for seventh place among Taylor Pendrith, Kevin Yu, Ryan Moore, and Joseph Bramlett.
This event had a cut after 54 holes so the amateurs could play on the three courses before the final round at Pebble Beach. Ben Silverman and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers won the pro-am at 26-under.
