Rory McIlroy fired a 7-under par 65 Saturday to surge up the leaderboard at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the Monterey Peninsula. The 35-year-old sits 15-under par and is joined in a tie for 2nd with fellow Irishman and good friend Shane Lowry, who also shot 65 at Pebble Beach Saturday. The leader is Austria’s Sepp Straka (-16), a Ryder Cup teammate of those two who shot 70 Saturday but had to rally with 4 birdies in his final 5 holes.

Straka had his 3-shot lead through 36 holes cut to 1-stroke into Sunday’s final round. The 31-year-old will shoot to become the first player to win both California PGA Tour pro-am stops in the same season after winning last month’s The American Express at pre-tournament odds of +6000, or 60/1.

McIlroy and Lowry thrived in the cold, wind and rain Saturday that is one of this tournament’s traditions and caused shakeups and struggles at the Signature Event the past two years. That inculdes last year’s win by Wyndham Clark after he shot 60 Saturday and won when the event was cut short to 54 holes due to a rainout and severe weather, which impacts golf betting and rules.

Straka was +280 to win the Pebble Beach event following Friday’s round and sitting on a 3-shot lead over Russell Henley and Cam Davis.

But odds continue to adjust during live play and after each round. Now Straka is +300 while McIlroy has surged to be the favorite at +220 after sitting at +1600 to start Round 3 Saturday. Lowry was +5500, and now +450 after the two Irishman were T13 (tied 13th) at the start of Round 3.

I live in Florida for a reason,” Lowry said after shooting a 65 Saturday to match McIlroy for low round of the day with each player shooting rounds of 66-70-65 into Sunday. “It was like this in Ireland when I was home at Christmas and my golf clubs sat in my hall. I didn’t play golf. When the weather is like that, I don’t play golf anymore.”

Justin Rose, Tom Kim and Cam Davis are T4 at 14-under par, with Lucas Glover (-13), Russell Henley (-12) and Austin Echroat (-11) next. The top-10 is rounded out with five players at -10 including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Collin Morikawa, Jason Day, Tony Finau and Sam Burns round out a group at 9-under par and T15.

GolfStats founder and analyst Sal Johnson picked McIlroy as one of his three top win contenders at Pebble Beach, where the winner receives $3.6 million from the $20 million prize pool. I added insight and analysis on McIlroy as a top tournament matchup pick at big underdog odds over Scottie Scheffler, along with Taylor Pendrith (-10) over Corey Conners (-1).

Data golf tournament stats show McIlroy and Lowry led the field Saturday in Strokes Gained Total (+6.54) and Tee-to-Green (+4.3). Straka is still leading all players in the tournament in SG: Total (+3.77) and Tee-to-Green (+3.70) and No. 3 in Approach (+1.66) behind Scheffler (+1.78). Glover (+1.98), Henley, Theegala and Lowry lead the field in SG: Putting with McIlroy best on Approach and Putting in Round 3 Saturday.

McIlroy and Tiger Woods are also the masterminds behind the new interactive, technology-infused golf league TGL, which saw those two PGA Tour legends and 3-man teams face each other Tuesday night before the start of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Now McIlroy is in position to earn his 27th PGA Tour win if he can manage his game and the winds Sunday. His bogey-free 65 Saturday included an up-and-down par on the courses most difficult hole at No. 9, which was playing nearly a half-stroke over par. That’s part of Pebble Beach’s famous seaside stretch with holes 6-10 offering spectacular oceanside views but also most exposed to the elements.

“One thing I’m trying to get better at is trying to play more bogey free-rounds,” McIlroy said after doing so Saturday. “I think just playing a little smarter, playing the right shot at the right time, not hitting destructive shots.”

Patience and proven performances are paying off.

You can bet on it.
