Best Pictures From Pebble Beach Final Round
It was a Cinderella story at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament as world number 447 Vaughn Taylor was the unexpected winner.
Taylor hit a superb final round of 65 that included four straight birdies from the 13th.
"It’s been a long time. I didn’t think it was going to happen,” Taylor said.
“I worked so hard. I kept getting knocked down, knocked down. I’m just at a loss for words.”
There was also drama as Phil Mickelson - who had held a two-shot lead going into the final round - could not force a play-off as his 5-footer on the final green lipped out.

“It never crossed my mind that one on 18 wouldn’t go in,” Mickelson said.
Nonetheless, Vaughn Taylor's victory was a fitting way to end a tournament full of colour, celebrity fun and wonderful stroke play.
