The amateurs at the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am are always a big part of the weekend broadcast, but usually as a fun little sideshow, not for the actual quality of golfing their ball around the “most felicitous meeting of land and sea in creation.”
Justin Timberlake’s near hole-in-one was only part of his incredible day at Pebble Beach Pro Am
The amateurs at the Pebble Pro-Am aren’t supposed to put together highlight reels like this.
But Justin Timberlake put together the best highlight reel of anyone not named Jordan Spieth at Pebble on Saturday. The expectations are a little different, of course, but JT holed out twice from just off of the green and hit the best shot of the day at Pebble’s most famous hole, the par-3 7th.
While his partner, Justin Rose, took a selfie from the back of the tee, Timberlake lofted one down to the green and dropped a dart right on top of the flagstick that spun back and took a look at the entire hole:
The near-ace was closer than anyone else put a ball all day, including the pros. JT is a really strong amateur player, somewhere around scratch, according to the USGA’s Handicap Index. Compared to your weekend game at a home course, however, this Pebble Pro Am can be a different kind of pressurized event on a Tour setup at a world-class venue.
The tee ball at the 7th was the shot of the third round by any am or pro, but that was just a part of what was an all-time golf day for JT. He also holed out on back-to-back greens coming down the stretch with Rose. The compilation:
The two Justins have developed a relationship over the years and made appearances together at different events, including at Augusta National. It’s a bit of an odd duo but they were cooking on Saturday, with Rose draining a putt at the last that had Timberlake run onto the green for an intimate embrace:
With that kind of day, the two easily made the cut in the Pro-Am portion of the event and will play Pebble again on Sunday.
