Notre Dame alum Jimmy Dunne (also a member of the Board of Trustees) is in 16th place going into today's Third Round of the AT&T National Pebble Beach Pro Am.  Jimmy is playing with PGA Tour member Troy Merritt.

Through the first two rounds Merritt and Dunne are at -14, five srokes off the lead.  Merritt is at -4 on his own ball -- meaning Jimmy (a five handicapper) has picked up another 10 strokes to par for their team.  That's great playing.
