How Ryuji Imada made par at Pebble Beach’s world famous, par-3 seventh hole on Friday is remarkable.
Imada’s tee shot to the short hole went well long of the 103-yard target, held up from the water by iceplants on a steep hill behind the green. He found his ball and took a mighty, balanced whack at it, landing the ball just off the green but safe from the ocean. For his third shot, Imada simply chipped the ball in for a routine par.
The final tally was 2-over 74 for Imada, which has him in need of a good round today to make the cut at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
That par, though.
