Sepp Straka surges late to regain Pebble Beach lead over Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry
Briefly

Sepp Straka recovered from a tough start to regain the lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with a score of 2-under 70. Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry both performed impressively, with McIlroy scoring a bogey-free 65 and Lowry playing resiliently with a similar score, despite harsh weather conditions. Notably, the event highlighted a competitive atmosphere reminiscent of the Ryder Cup, showcasing strong performances from top European players, including Justin Rose and Scottie Scheffler as well. Straka's critical final birdie secured him a narrow one-shot lead at 16-under 200.
Just don't get the idea Irish weather was well-suited for McIlroy and Lowry, especially because they now are neighbors in south Florida.
Lowry said, "I think my game is well-equipped to handle these conditions and I go out there, kind of no fear, and I know I just need to batten down the hatches and make pars when I can."
Straka blasted out of the sand to 4 feet for one last birdie that put him at 16-under 200, one shot ahead of McIlroy and Lowry.
The second signature event of the year produced big names at the top, and this one had a distinctive Ryder Cup feel - European, that is.
