Clampett shoots 68 at Pebble Beach Open comeback
Eighteen years after a top finish Clampett, now 40, posts a 3 under 68 in the U S Open round that surprised a sport in which he drifted to CBS analyst duties. He teared up after birdie at nine and spoke of the gift of playing. Tiger Woods skipped the Payne Stewart tribute, choosing a practice round with Mark O’Meara. Sergio Garcia wore knickers for Stewart and lamented peers not following suit. Birthday pair Justin Leonard and Phil Mickelson mark milestones. Pebble Beach installs a 30-foot range net as power hitters hammer shots beyond the boundaries.
