Flashback: Restoring Pebble Beach's 9th

Gary McCord suggested on today's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am broadcast that the Pebble Beach Company is considering restoring the 9th hole's original super-wide fairway and perhaps even an alternate tee right off the 8th green.

As you can imagine from the three previous posts I've done on this (here, here, here), I believe it would be a welcome and long overdue improvement to the course.

Here is the most recent post from the 2010 U.S. Open that includes ground view shots of the current abandoned alternate option that would open up the best angle of approach to several hole locations.
