How and why Daniel Berger won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
In one sense Daniel Berger sealed the deal with just three shots, to complete a superb eagle at the 72nd hole, but in reality there was an awful lot more to his fourth PGA Tour win.
The transformation in Daniel Berger's form over the past year has been extraordinary and the latest example came last week with his victory in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
A superb final round chase
The nuts and bolts show that Berger shared the lead with Jordan Spieth after 53 holes, but hit his tee shot out of bounds at the par-5 18th hole on Saturday afternoon and so faced a two shot deficit heading into Sunday.
Birdies at the 10th and 14th had him tied with Nate Lashley at the top of the leaderboard as he walked to the final tee, perched alongside the Pacific Ocean, with memories of what happened 24 hours earlier all too fresh at the front and back of his mind.
