Siem chips in for playoff win

Marcel Siem chipped in for a birdie on the first playoff hole to secure a dramatic victory over Ross Fisher and Alexander Levy to claim the BMW Masters title in Shanghai.

Overnight leader Levy’s form finally broke as he squandered a four-shot lead with a six-over round of 78 in tough blustery conditions at Lake Malaren dropping him into a three-man playoff.

On a dramatic final hole of regulation, Siem missed a six-foot putt for the title, while Jamie Donaldson missed a putt to join the playoff and Levy holed his bogey putt to join Siem and Fisher in the playoff battle.

While everyone else had struggled, Fisher blazed home with his five-under round of 67 by far the best round of the day which set the clubhouse lead on 16-under â€" the mark which Levy and Siem just about matched.

All three found the fairway on the first playoff hole, but while Levy and Fisher found the green, Siem could only find the fringe with a tricky lie ahead of him for his third shot.

The German produced a superb chip shot though that toppled into the cup and, when Levy and Fisher were unable to convert their birdies chances Siem could celebrate his fourth title on the European Tour.

Ryder Cup winner Donaldson, who started the day in second place, had a triple-bogey six on the front nine to get over, and he almost did but missed a birdie putt on the 18th to miss out on the playoff by just a shot with his closing 75 putting him on 15-under.

And Gleneagles team-mate Justin Rose finished alongside Donaldson on 15-under after a bogey on the last hole in a closing round of 72.

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
