Day, Johnson Looking To Bounce Back At Pebble Beach

The best views in all of golf are upon us this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The celebrities will be out in full force (they always are), but the best players in the world are as well with four of the top 10 in the world in action .
 
Participants this week include Dustin Johnson, Jordan Speith, Jason Day, Justin Rose, and Phill Mickelson, who are the top five odds-makers pick to win this weekend. 
 
After missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open two weeks ago, the No. 1 player (Day) and No. 4 player (Johnson) in the world will try to rebound. Their combined success here is pretty stunning: Two wins (both from Johnson) and seven other top 10s (not including Johnson's top 10 at the 2010 U.S. Open).
 
Lefty is the all-time money leader at this event, but he's not the all-time wins leader. With four, he trails Mark O'Meara by one and is tied with Sam Snead. He could have had No. 5 last year, but he still has not won since the summer of 2013. 
 
Nine of the 12 winners on the PGA Tour this season have been under 3, with five of those wins have come from Justin Thomas and Hideki Matsuyama (combined age 47), neither of whom are playing this week, but it will be interesting to see if that streak can continue at Pebble.
 
Vaughn Taylor won last year's event.
