Scratch that ideal conditions call...but these up to the minute posts allow for meteorogical adjustments.

Ironically the conditions are ideal at Del Monte (soggy faiway aside - but hey, it's winter), a Pebble Beach sibling course where a volunteer tourney was cancelled because they had to be on point for a potential round at Pebble.

Watching championship golf with light Monday crowds would be nice. But this doesn't suck either.

And that'll do it. Final round cancelled due to weather; Dustin Johnson declared the winner of the Waterford (above) after 54 holes. A three-round win hasn't happened since '99...meanwhile, Mike Weir further cemented a solid AT&T resume with a second place finish and Retief Goosen finished alone in third. 

It's been raining steadily since 5:30am at the Weekly's headquarters in Seaside. At Pebble they've postponed the tee times yet again, to 8:30am. The course has to be sea slug squooshy.

Come tomorrow, if Dustin Johnson and his four-shot lead can hold up against the elements and keep him on top of the leaderboard, he'll become only the second player under 25 with multiple victories on the PGA Tour (Anthony Kim's the other multi-championship youngster). Or the elements could be his best friend - though officials will wait out the weather as long as they can, they have the option of awarding him the title after 54 holes if the wind and wetness make the final round impossible to complete in a timely way.
This guy rode it out courageously, as documented in this pic by equally adaptable Weekly photographer Nic Coury. Time to go home, buddies. This'll be the first time since 2000 the AT&T has gone into Monday. First tee time is 7:30am.
Wet and lonely look at 18. PGA just announced the final round is postponed until tomorrow.

Picture of a tree down on 3 from www.PGA.com. If they let them play today, the last group - Dustin Johnson, Retief Goosen & Mike Weir - won't go off until 3:35pm.

Nastiness at Pebble. They've already sent the amateurs home on account of the weather...then they said they'd have the pros who made the cut attempt nine holes at 11:45am - & now they're saying they'll push that back to 1:45pm (and do another nine tomorrow). Meanwhile, a tree went down at the third hole and a news tower toppled near 18. Hopefully the Metlife blimp doesn't careen into the sea.

You get to be part of the action at Poppy...a member of the shooting gallery. This guy at 6 got poppy-d on the wrist by a Todd Wagner tee shot on 6 after three other shots went into the crowd. Though the carom skipped 20 yards away from the green, Wagner still scrambled for par. Just minutes later Huey Lewis binked someone with a drive on 7. 'You got 'em,' Bill Murray said. 'I know that guy. He had it coming.'
