Sam Stevens, who hails from Wichita, Kansas, blocked out thoughts of Wednesday night’s plane crash near Washington D.C. and carded a 5-under 67 Thursday to emerge only a few shots off the first-round lead of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. “When I teed off, they hadn’t come out with the flight list,” Stevens said. “I’ve just been thinking about those people and praying for them and their families, because life is a fragile thing.
“Wichita is a good size town but it feels like a small community so you feel like you know everybody,” Stevens said. “It’s likely that I know someone or know someone who knows someone that was on the flight. It’s scary.” Sam Stevens, who hails from Wichita, Kansas, blocked out thoughts of Wednesday night’s plane crash near Washington D.C. and carded a 5-under 67 Thursday to emerge only a few shots off the first-round lead of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
“Most people don’t know who I am, so I don’t know if I’m changing for anyone outside of Wichita,” Stevens said. “We’ve got some good, underrated golf in Wichita, so hopefully some of the kids that are playing junior golf or college golf, I like to talk to them over the phone or when I’m back home, to help them get better.”
