He earned points by finishing tied for 7th at the PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (total prize money $20 million), held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72, 6,972 yards) in Pebble Beach, California, USA.
This tournament is a signature event ranked just below the four major championships and the "fifth major," The Players Championship. Only 80 players participated, including last year's top 50 in the FedEx Cup rankings, this year's tour winners, PGA Tour members ranked within the top 30 in the world rankings, and the top 10 FedEx Cup players this year who did not qualify otherwise. Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) claimed the title, earning his 27th PGA Tour victory.
