Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers picked up a trophy at Pebble Beach on Sunday. Rodgers, along with Ben Silverman, held on to win the pro-am portion of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by a single stroke. The duo went 26-under on the week, and beat Peter Malnati and former FedEx CEO and president Don Colleran.
Rodgers was playing on a 10 handicap. Silverman has won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour, including earlier this year at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic. He missed the cut on the professional side of the tournament at 1-over.
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am set for Monday finish
After a lengthy delay on Saturday due to weather, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is set for a Monday finish.
Play was halted on Saturday after strong winds hit the course, especially the holes along the Pacific Ocean, which delayed Sunday’s start significantly. The winds got so bad on Saturday that Keith Mitchell said he had to hit an 8-iron on the short 106-yard par-3 seventh. It was still really bad on Sunday, too.
As a result of the delay, nine golfers actually withdrew from the event on Sunday morning — including two who are going to try to Monday qualify for the WM Phoenix Open.
When play was stopped, Justin Rose held a two-shot lead after an impressive finish to his final day. After opening with a bogey, Rose made two birdies and an impressive eagle out of the fairway bunker. That, along with a deep putt for birdie at the next, gave him the solo lead.
Rose ended his day on the 10th hole when play was called for darkness. He’s searching for his 11th PGA Tour win, and his first since the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open. Brendan Todd and Peter Malnati sat two shots back at 13-under on the week.
Denny McCarthy jumped up the leaderboard fast, too, after an incredible front-nine 29. He had seven birdies on the front side, which moved him right into the mix. He ended his day at 13-under with three holes remaining to join Todd and Malnati in second. If McCarthy can pull off a win on Monday, it’d mark his first on Tour.
Play will resume Monday morning at 8 a.m. PT.

Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
