Video: 2014 AT&T Pebble Beach Final Round Highlights. Jimmy Walker Wins

Jimmy Walker may not have been flying home at Pebble Beach but such was his overnight lead, the astronomy enthusiast (with a website called DarkSkyWalker) only needed to steer the ship into dock to win his third PGA Tour event in the first eight starts of the 2014 season.

sky walkerIn winning the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Walker wrote himself into the record books as one of only four men (Woods, Mickelson, Duval) to complete a hat trick of wins so early in a season.

Walker held off a happy Jim Renner who had made none of nine cuts heading in, and two time champion Dustin Johnson.

Renner and Johnson both bagged $580,800; for Dustin the money is almost insignificant, for Renner it goes a long to retaining his card and gets him a spot in this weeks Northern Trust Open.

Walker held a slippy five footer for par on 18 to win $1,188,000 and pull clear on the Fed Ex Cup points list from Harris English.  He also now looks a strong favourite to make his Ryder Cup debut on Team USA in Gleneagles.

With his lead down to one on the 18th tee, Walker switched driver for long iron on the advice of his caddie and made a gutsy par. 





“I felt like I was hitting it pretty good and I struggled with the speed of the greens coming in.”

“I think it's cool because I think that it seems every time I've won a golf tournament, it's under different circumstances; things happen; you never can tell what's going to unfold in front of you,” Walker said. “I learned that having a big lead's tough. And I think I learned a lot today about what to do, what kind of shots to hit.”

He certainly has.  Next up its Riviera for Walker, as he bids to keep rewriting the history books.

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
