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.

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.'

Hole in one alert: Local Budweiser distributor Geoff Couch, who's very active in Peninsula junior golf circles, preempted any putts at Spyglass' 15th yesterday by dropping his tee shot in the clown's mouth.
Dustin Johnson is playing some smoking golf. He's in the top three for the tourney in driving distance, greens in regulation and putts per GIR. He's 4 under through 6 today (on the back 9 at Spy) after a 65 yesterday. His -11 currently outpaces Retief Goosen and Rich Beem by three strokes.

The week's Big Three Pros - Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson (above) and double major winner Padraig Harrington - all rank among top five players in the world. They'll have to get on their game to catch Dustin Johnson, who just birdied his first hole (the 10th) at Spy to move to eight under...Singh and Mickelson are even (and playing Pebble and Poppy today, respectively); Harrington's +2, playing Pebble.
Got some tidbits o' insight from a friend of mine last night about Bill Murray. She's given him a couple of massages after practice rounds. She reports he got the weird silk kimono number he wore at the Charity Shoot Out (above) at a Pacific Grove thrift store, that he is always in character, and that he told her pre-treatment, 'Seems like a fair fight—my tight body against your tight body.'
George Lopez had a couple of great lines the other day after a reporter mistakenly asked him how he likes living in P.G.: 'Pacific Grove? You insulting me?' he asked, then paused. 'Don't get me wrong—there's nothing a matter with P.G.—I just like to get a drink after 9.' He went on from there: 'I have a place in Pebble. Just because the lots are big doesn't mean we're bad people.' Today our own semi-local (his primary residence is near L.A.) joins the so-called 'A Group' of top draws at tricky Poppy Hills. (He goes off at 10:10am from the 10th tee.)

A dog waits outside Spanish Bay's Sticks, which is surprisingly quiet for AT&T weekend. It was an underdog day...1st round co-leaders Dustin Johnson & Robert Garrigus have played 392 PGA rounds combined - & this is the first they're ever led at the end of one.

Jesper Parnevick likes his sweaters tight. Bill Murray tightened his hands around JP's neck, playfully pretending to choke him (and blame him) after Murray shanked a drive ('It's your fault!')

Kid's gonna need a huge club.
All-Pro QB Peyton Manning made his AT&T debut at Spyglass today.
Hair of the day: Charley Hoffman. He's in contention at five under, two back of the lead.
Former Steeler great (and current aspiring politician) Lynn Swann was pumped after drilling the first bird Spy's coastal 5th hole saw today. The 35-foot putt was a net hole in one; Swann and Jim Furyk are five under, five back of the lead pro-am team (-10). Americans Robert Garrigus and Dustin Johnson lead the pro ranks by a stroke at seven under.
Dan Marino everybody. His might be the best foursome in the tournament: He's playing with PGA Tour standouts Chris DiMarco and Jim Furyk and fellow Hall of Famer Lynn Swann. They go off at 8:20 at Poppy tomorrow (from the 10th tee) and at 10am Saturday at Pebble.
A sports psychologist following one his PGA Tour clients just told me the main theme he plies with his golfers is essentially the same it is for other competitive endeavors: "Get out of your own way and trust what you have."
White pants=bringing sexy back.

Brandi Chastian has game. She's part of a super loaded field at Spyglass today (then Poppy and Pebble Friday and Saturday, respectively).
