Why did AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am get reduced to 54 holes? These dramatic images illustrate

The final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was canceled due to inclement weather and safety concerns. Rain fell Sunday morning and although it slowed a little later in the day, sustained winds of 35-40 miles per hour and gusts of more than 60 mph forced the hand of organizers. Wyndham Clark was given the trophy after his 54-hole effort.

Due to moderate rain, preferred lies were in effect during all three rounds of the tournament. All week long, the weather forecast called for high winds on Sunday that threatened to push the tournament to a Monday finish and so Clark approached Saturday’s third round as if it could be the final round and with a sense of now-or-never to make a move.

The signature event, which consisted of an 80-man field with no cut, guaranteed money and a $20 million purse, is the first 54-hole tournament on Tour since the 2016 Zurich Classic of New Orleans; the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was also shortened to 54 holes in 2009.

Here’s a look at some images from our USA Today photo team from Sunday as the storms rolled through:
