Straka Stumbles but Soars Back to the Top at Windy Pebble Beach!

Straka Maintains Lead at Pebble Amidst Strong Winds

Sepp Straka showcased resilience at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Saturday, reclaiming his lead despite facing challenging windy conditions. He carded a four-over 76 in the third round, but his closest competitors also faced their own hurdles. Harry Higgs, who was tied with Straka for the top spot, stumbled with a five-over 77, while Rory McIlroy, lurking just behind, recorded a six-over 78.

The fierce winds at Pebble Beach turned scoring into a formidable challenge for all players. However, Straka’s adeptness in breezy conditions became his secret weapon. He sank several crucial birdies on the back nine to surge back into the lead.

As it stands, Straka holds a two-stroke advantage heading into the final round, with Higgs trailing in second and McIlroy in third. The stage is set for an exhilarating showdown among these three contenders as they navigate both each other and the relentless wind.
