If you tug your drive left on No. 18, Hale Irwin’s shot might cross your mind as your ball hangs over the ocean. Irwin’s quick hook during the 1984 Pro-Am was saved by a fortuitous bounce off the rocks, which returned his errant drive to the fairway. He went on to birdie the hole, and win in a playoff. The victim of that luck, runner-up Jim Nelford, is still haunted by that series of events. “I’m almost over it,” said Nelford, some 32 years later. The golf gods also smiled down on Babe Zaharias, who took advantage of a similar bounce to win an LPGA event here in 1950. But even those events pale in comparison to what junior golfer Christopher Meyers did. After also receiving a bounce off the rocks and into the fairway, Meyers holed a 4-iron for an albatross to win the team portion of the 2014 Nature Valley First Tee Open! • • • • 📷 stringers_studio #mypebblebeach #pebblebeach #18thhole #par5 #pebblebeachgolflinks #pebblebeachgolf #pebblebeachgolfcourse #beautifulgolfcourses #bucketlist...
