Tom Kim tops tee shot, makes chip-in birdie to start third round at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Tom Kim had quite the adventure down Pebble Beach’s par-4 opener on Saturday to start his third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the second signature event of the PGA Tour’s season.

Sitting four shots back of leader Sepp Straka, Kim teed off alongside Tony Finau and Andrew Novak. But his first tee shot of the day didn’t go as planned. The 22-year-old topped it, with the ball barely getting above the ground. Luckily for Kim, it rolled out and finished 169 yards away from the pin in the fairway.

His second wasn’t much better, missing the green to the left and leaving himself a tricky up-and-down for par. But he did one better, making the chip shot for birdie. It looked like a three the whole way.
