There's no doubt that Mother Nature really stuck it to the PGA Tour this past weekend at Pebble Beach.  It shortened the event to 54 holes, leaving us with very little coverage of the professionals in the tournament.  We got a Saturday filled with celebrity coverage. 

Usually, that day is pretty fun because celebs are interspersed with the actual professional tournament.  This weekend, though, we got very little action from the pros that were in contention.  We got plenty of Lefty, who was about a million shots out of the lead and playing like a man who cannot shake off the rust.  (And he even played in the PGA Tour off season!)

So, what gives?  Sal Johnson noticed and offers an observation:

[T]he biggest problem with Saturday’s show was the inexplicable lack of attention it paid to the leader, long-bombing Dustin Johnson. Guess how many shots viewers saw Johnson make during the three days of telecasts? (Golf Channel airs the Thursday and Friday shows, but CBS personnel produce them) None. Guess how many shots we saw by Mike Weir, the eventual runner-up? Three. It's like CBS is now doing shows like the ones from the 60s, very limited. Someone must have pointed out this lack of coverage to CBS producers because the opening of Sunday's show featured highlights from the previous night's Golf Central of Johnson's round at Poppy Hills.

Look, I didn't know much about Dustin Johnson either.  But we had major champions in Retief Goosen and Mike Weir close to the lead.  How come we didn't see more from them?  Frankly, that's more interesting to me than watching Paul Blart shank one.

What say you?  Were you happy with Bill Murray and Huey Lewis?  Apparently, those were the only two guys on the course.  And a fellow named Timberlake.
