High winds forced the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Open to be postponed until Monday. The winds, which gusted to up to 45 mph, were powerful enough to topple a 40-foot pine tree that crossed the third fairway. Originally, the tee start times were delayed for six hours. Later, when the winds refused to subside, play was postponed for the day.
Dustin Johnson is leading Anthony Kim by four strokes going into the final round. Kim is the only player under 25 to have multiple PGA Tour wins.

Padraig Harrington, pictured above after winning the PGA Championship this year, was named the PGA Player of the year for 2008. The 37-year-old Irishman won the British Open (for the second straight year) and the PGA Championship this past year. He is just the second European player to receive the honor.
