But plans to play the final 18 holes on Monday
were changed Sunday night due to more poor weather on the way.
The decision by the PGA Tour Rules Committee made Clark the
winner with a 17-under 199 through three rounds. It is the
30-year-old's third career PGA Tour victory.
"The storm affecting the Monterey Peninsula throughout the day
Sunday is forecast to continue into the early hours of Monday
with very strong winds," a statement by the committee said.
"Although conditions are forecast to improve through the morning
Monday, after consultation with Monterey County emergency
authorities, who have implemented a Shelter in Place order until
early tomorrow morning for the greater Pebble Beach community,
and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all
constituents, there will be no play on Monday.
"Therefore, in accordance with the PGA Tour Regulations the
tournament results will be final through the conclusion of 54
holes."
Sweden's Ludvig Aberg finished one shot back of Clark. Frenchman
Matthieu Pavon was two shots back. Mark Hubbard and second-round
co-leader Thomas Detry tied for fourth at 14-under 202.
The course was closed to all volunteers and spectators on Sunday
because of rains and a forecast of hurricane-force winds.
Clark shot a course-record 60 on Saturday to move into the lead.
