Video: Jim Furyk Shoots Historic 59 at BMW Championship

SamEagle

Update: Yessssssssss, Jimmy did it!  Shoots 59 on Friday The 13th!  A word too to 65 year old Fluff Cowan who is battling a sore shoulder but lugged the bag manfully.

Update: Boom, second shot to his last is stitched to just inside feet.  This putt for a 59!

Update: Missed.  Needs to birdie the ninth, his last for glory.

Update: Jim’s second to the par five eighth was inches from being perfect.  After a tough chip he has about 20 feet for birdie.  Needs it!

Update: Boom, birdie on the seventh, his 16th.  One more birdie now for 59.  And a par 5 to come!

Update: Three putt disaster on 14. First bogey.  The dream is still alive though!

59

 

At one stage in his second round Jim Furyk needed one more birdie in his last five holes to shoot a second round of 59 at the BMW Championship. “What course is he playing” said Tiger Woods when he heard of Furyk’s progress in tough windy conditions on a course that hardly favours his game.  A three putt on 14 looked to have stalled his run, but he bounced back brilliantly with another birdie on the seventh and when he pitched to inside four feet on the last, players rushed to see Furyk brush in the the historic 59 putt.

Pic: Furyk clearly psyched after his birdie on 12.

Before Furyk, the magic 59 had only been done five times previously by Al Geiberger in 1977 at the FedEx St Jude Classic, by Chip Beck at the 1991 Shriners, by David Duval at the 1999 Bob Hope (Humana), by Goydos at the 2010 John Deere and by Stuart Appleby the same year at the Greenbrier.  Notably Gay also shot a 59, but on  the Web.com Tour.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
