“Pebble Beach means a lot to the Cook family,” said Cook, who
first came to Pebble Beach in 1972 with his father as a spectator
of the U.S. Open, then went on to win the State Amateur Tournament

following year. Cook’s first PGA Tour victory also came at Pebble
Beach, when he won the 1981 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am. “I am
thrilled to have won again at this very special place for me. I am
grateful to my sponsor, Diamond Resorts International®, for their
