Wi opens up 3-shot lead at Pebble Beach

Charlie Wi escaped most of the rain and built a three-shot lead Friday in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Sunshine gave way to clouds and eventually a light rain on the Monterey Peninsula, which put a stop to the low scoring.

Wi holed out a wedge for eagle on the 13th hole at Pebble Beach and limited the damage to a bogey on his final hole for a 3-under 69, putting him 12-under for the tournament.

Dustin Johnson shot 72 at Spyglass and was three back at 9-under 135.

Young New Zealand star Danny Lee started the day with a share of the lead, but has fallen back in a tie for third after shooting one over par to be eight under for the tournament.

Tiger Woods had a 2-under 68 at Monterey Peninsula, which put him six shots behind. Phil Mickelson shot 65 and was five behind.
