Pebble was playing F&F with those approaches in front of greens - therefore an opportunity for the fabled "run up" approach?
Short of the pin on 6 allowing this, I can't recall any "short / exposed" pin on Sunday that wasn't tucked behind a bunker (edit - perhaps 8, and also 13 comes to mind - that's when Ernie let go his "I can't believe that f%ckin ball didn't bounce")
However, lack of wind Sunday, tucked pins and the state of golf....proof that the F&F "run up" approach in the modern professional game is just that - a fable?
Wouldn't 7 at 92 yards been difficult with the pin cut in the middle back, 3 or 4 paces from the back of the green, seeing if someone could pitch a low 3-quarter 8 or 9 iron that lands on the front and runs up, rather than risk the spinning lob wedge pitched at the hole and spinning back down the green somewhat - or am I the only person who pitches low with an 8 iron from 90 yards these days?
