Northern California and in particular the Sacramento region will be well represented at next month's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Area golf pros that have already committed to the event include Kevin Sutherland, who is coming off a neck injury that sidelined him for almost the entire 2012 tour season. Dixon's Nick Watney, who has emerged as one of the Tour's top players will appear in the event as well as Spencer Levin, along with former Stockton resident Ricky Barnes and PGA Tour rookie, James Hahn who resides in the Bay Area.
The event which started as a Bing Crosby clambake in 1937, is perhaps the Tour's premier Pro-Am event. The field will be comprised of 156 professionals and 156 amateurs. Phil Mickelson is the defending champion who last year defeated Tiger Woods in what was a showcase Sunday pairing at venerable Pebble Beach course. Mickelson has now won the event four times.
