THE final round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am was postponed due to chaotic weather in California.

Incredible video footage from Sunday morning showed the iconic links golf course being battered by giant waves.

Sea water crashed over the rocks into the bunkers and even on to the fairways in dramatic scenes.

One Twitter account joked: “Do you get relief from waves crashing onto the fairway?”

Another quipped: “I would gladly pay a £20 pay-per-view to watch them play in that! Hysterical. Final round 84 for the win.”

A third added: “Ocean spray is a lateral water hazard.”

And a final user brilliantly pointed out: “Not really golf weather.”

The heavy flooding – combined with the strong winds that brought trees down in the area – meant it was simply impossible for the world’s best golfers to play.

So the PGA Tour and tournament officials deemed the safest and best thing to do was delay the fourth round until at least Monday.

A statement on Sunday morning local time said: “The final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has been postponed to Monday, February 5, due to inclement weather and safety concerns.

“Tee times are scheduled for 8-10:25 a.m. PT off Nos. 1-10.”

However, it remains unclear whether the famous tournament will get completed on Monday.

That is because further bad weather is set to hit the Monterey Peninsula again tomorrow.

When play does resume, US Open champion Wyndham Clark will be hoping to complete a famous victory.

Clark, 30, delivered a putting masterclass on Saturday to shoot a 12-under-par new course record of 60.

That moved him into the outright lead at -17, one shot clear of Swedish Ryder Cup hero Ludvig Aberg.

Clark said: “Even if I had shot 59 somewhere, I don’t think it would compare to shooting a score like this at one of the most historic golf courses in the world.

“To keep the pedal down and to stay aggressive mentally was the most impressive thing to myself.

“Making all those putts was out of the ordinary. It was pretty awesome.”

Rory McIlroy, though, is way back in T66 – not helped by having an unfortunate two-stroke penalty in the first round after accidentally breaking a little-known rule.
