Pebble Beach is a tough enough golf course to have hosted multiple U.S. Opens. On Tuesday, it looked like it could have hosted an Open Championship. Wind and rain pummeled the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am early week festivities to the point that the club put out a warning for fans trying to watch practice rounds.
UPDATE: For everyone's safety, we have closed the courses to all spectators. We will continue to update you should conditions change.

That didn't deter a few golfers from hitting the course, though. Tony Finau and J.B. Holmes both posted videos of themselves playing the par-3 seventh. A little 106-yard shot that these two big hitters had to use long irons for.

One of the more famous celebrities in the field this week, Aaron Rodgers, also braved the inclement weather.
"We were soaked," Rodgers told the San Francisco Chronicle after playing 18 holes with his buddy (and pro-am partner) Jerry Kelly. "I've played in close to that type of wind at Whistling Straits, but never the wind and the rain. Our shoes didn't get too wet until about No. 16. We were kind of slopping it up a bit the last three holes, but we had a blast."
Rain is expected all weekend so that might not be the last time you see a 5-iron at the 106-yard seventh hole.
