I watched most of the final round yesterday and it was very entertaining. The win was literally up for grabs until the final putt. I did feel sorry for Nate Lashley. He was playing well and had a wreck on the 16th hole.
My question for the forum is why do you think so many of the top ranked players decided to skip this event? I know many who played in Saudi Arabia needed a break, but I always considered the Crosby (as it was once called) a top event. If for no other reason because it's played at Pebble. I sometimes wonder if the celebrity Pro-Am part may have run it's course. Years ago it drew a who's who of A-list entertainers. Recently, it seems the amateurs are mostly corporate CEOs and a few B-list actors. Anyway I'm curious as to your thoughts.
