The Pebble Beach Pro-Am never had a celebrity pairing like this. Tiger Woods Editing of this page by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled.  and Kevin Costner made the 8:40 tee time on Thursday feel like the last group on the last day of the U.S. Open The term U.S. Open is applied to "open" United States national championships in a particular sport, in which anybody, amateur or professional, American or non-American may compete. These include:
  • U.S. Open (golf), golf tournament of the United States Golf Association
  • U.
.

Playing before a wildly enthusiastic crowd jammed a dozen deep around every tee and green, the young star of the tour and the leading man of ``Tin Cup'' combined to shoot an 8-under-par 64 - four back in the team competition.

In the pro tournament, Woods shot a 70 at Spyglass Hills and trailed Jesper Parnevik Jesper Bo Parnevik (born March 7, 1965) is a Swedish professional golfer. He is the son of the Swedish entertainer Bo Parnevik.

 by five strokes. Parnevik shot a 7-under-par 65 at Poppy Hills, probably the easiest of the three courses with its five par-5 holes.

British Open champion Tom Lehman Thomas Edward Lehman (born March 7, 1959) is an American professional golfer.

Lehman was born in Austin, Minnesota but Alexandria, Minnesota is credited as his official Minnesota hometown.
 and Brian Henniger were a stroke back after they both shot a 66 at Poppy Hills, along with Billy Andrade William Thomas "Billy" Andrade (born January 25, 1964) is an American golfer.

Andrade was born in Bristol, Rhode Island. He attended Wake Forest University where he helped lead the Demon Deacons to the 1986 NCAA Championship. He played on the U.S.
, who shot a 66 at Spyglass. Masters winner Nick Faldo had a 67 at Spyglass, as did Phil Mickelson, and was in a knot of players with that score.

But this day belonged to Woods and Costner.

``I was down on Poppy and I could hear the crowd at Spyglass,'' Lehman said. ``And that's like, what, five miles away? It was like, oh, Costner made another 3-foot putt.''

While Costner was playing well and enjoying the atmosphere, Woods was not at his best and at times was distracted by the constant movement in the gallery and the click of cameras. This is the only PGA Tour event where spectators are allowed to have cameras on the course during competition.

Several times he backed off shots and after both of his three-putt greens on the front nine Woods slammed his putter on the ground, yelled at himself and stared at a specific spot in the gallery.

Couples three back: New Zealand's Greg Turner shot a 7-under-par 65 to take a one-stroke lead over countryman Frank Nobilo after the first round of the Heineken Classic in Perth, Australia. Fred Couples was three shots back and John Daly trailed the leader by five shots.
