Kevin Streelman had a decent round at -2 69 and slipped a bit in the standings. He missed three putts of six feet or less; moreover, the majority of the putts made were less than two feet, including many of eight inches or less. Good putting, but the ball just didn't fall.

Streelman tees off #1 at 12:05 Eastern today. Hopefully, his putts will find the hole.

Streelman shot -2 (69) today and is T19 with golfers still on the course. He had a very strong -4 (31) front nine before shooting +2 (38) on the back nine when he struggled to find the fairway off the tee.

First look at Peddle Beach, Kevin, Adam, Ryan Blaum, and Wes Roach are in the field. Nice!

Kevin Streelman, 12:58, Spyglass Hill #10
Adam Long, 13:20, Spyglass Hill #10
Wes Roach, 13:42, Spyglass Hill #10
All times Eastern.

Streelman's out of luck. He and Larry Fitzgerald have won the tournament twice, but the Pro-Am is canceled for this year. Go get 'em Streels -- win this thing this year -- you were second in the pro event in 2020.
Tournament limited to Pebble and Spyglass this year because of the smaller field.

Are any of the former Duke golfers invited to The Masters this April ?
It's typical Duke golf thing. The catch-all category is "Top 50" in the world under the OWGR. Streelman is #59, and Adam Long is #62. In other words, just outside the Top 50 and hoping for a couple of good tournaments before April -- maybe a win.
There may be other criteria that apply, but I'm not sure. Adam's last win was two years ago (Desert Classic), but that may not apply.

If you are outside of the top 50 and not a pretty recent winner on tour (or at least come close in a major), you probably ain't playing at Augusta.

First-round results are (almost) in for the Duke players in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Streelman is at -3 T-32; Wes Roach is at -2 through 17; Adam Long finished at even par, T-75. Ryan Blaum at +2 is down the leader board. All played Spyglass Hill, which was the tougher course today. Tomorrow they move to Pebble.
Go Duke!

Wind is going to be a factor today at Pebble Beach:

Forecast calls for conditions to worsen in the afternoon so morning golfers could have an opportunity to gain ground on the leaderboard.

Streelman shoots -4 on the back nine (his first nine) with birdies on 13, 14, 15 and 18. He is currently T15 at -7. On to the front nine...
