PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Cheap Jihad Ward Jersey . -- The finish wasnt what Jimmy Walker wanted. The result is what hes
come to expect.
Walker led by as many as six shots Sunday in the AT&T Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am, only for it to be decided by his final putt. He ran his
birdie attempt 5 feet by the hole, and had to make that for par to
close with a 2-over 74 and a one-shot win over Dustin Johnson and Jim
Renner.
"Its drama, man," Walker said on the 18th green. "It was too much for
me."
But it was a familiar outcome for Walker, a 35-year-old Texan who only
four months ago was regarded as one of the best players to have never
won on the PGA Tour. This was his third win of the PGA Tour season, a
streak that began in October about an hour away at the Frys.com Open.
Walker joined some exclusive company. He is only the fourth player in
the last 20 years to win three times in his first eight starts to a
season. The others are Tiger Woods (who has done it eight times), Phil
Mickelson and David Duval.
For a brief moment, it looked as though Walker might have a chance to
join Greg Norman and Sergio Garcia as players to lose a six-shot lead in
the final round.
He was never seriously challenged until Johnson, and then Renner, put
together a strong finish. Johnson, a two-time winner at Pebble Beach,
closed with a 66 on a card that included three bogeys. Renner, who had
yet to make a cut all year, made five birdies on the back nine for a 67.
Walker made a 10-foot birdie on the 11th hole and was seemingly on his
way.
But he hit a poor chip on the par-3 12th for a bogey. He three-putted
the 13th for a bogey. He settled down for three simple pars and was two
shots clear with two to play. Walker three-putted the 17th, missing a 3
1/2-foot par putt. He tried to play it safe on the 18th with an iron off
the tee that found the right rough.
From 25 feet above the hole, he hit the birdie putt too hard and had one
anxious moment.
"I hate three-putting," Walker said. "I had two of them back there, and
definitely didnt want another one on the last."
Walker finished on 11-under 277 and earned $1.188 million, expanding his
lead in the Ryder Cup standings to more than $1 million over Mickelson
in second place. The Ryder Cup is based on PGA Tour earnings, though
there are still four majors (which count double), three World Golf
Championships and The Players Championship remaining.
For now, the stars are aligned for Walker better than anything he sees
through his high-powered telescope.
"I just go out and play golf," Walker said. "This is what I want to do
and Ive worked really hard to do it, to be here, and to be in this
position and its really cool."
Jordan Spieth had to return Sunday morning to complete his third round,
which ended with his sixth three-putt of the round for a 78. He faced
Pebble at its most vicious throughout the third round, though he bounced
back with a bogey-free 67 to at least tie for fourth with Kevin Na
(69).
And he hasnt lost his sense of humour.
"Yesterday was a day where you want to play Pebble Beach in that weather
once in your life," Spieth said. "You just dont want it be Saturday
when youre in the lead."
Chalk it up to another learning experience for Spieth, who said his 36
putts were more a product of not having the speed than the
less-than-smooth quality.
"I felt like I needed birdies when I didnt," he said.
Another strong finish belonged to Graeme McDowell, returning to Pebble
for the first time since his U.S. Open title in 2010. He closed with a
67, happy with a week in which he would have settled for just knocking
some rust off his game before heading to Riviera next week.
Outside of Walker, however, the big winner was Renner.
He was among the Web.com Tour graduates who played poorly in the four
"finals" event that determine priority ranking, and struggled to get
into tournaments. In his fifth start, he not only made his first cut,
Renner earned a spot at Riviera next week and will be in better position
to get into events over the next couple of months.
"It was pretty big," Renner said. "I just knew I needed a good week. My
back was up against the wall, and thats something Im familiar with and I
dont mind it. But Im happy that I freed myself up a little bit for the
rest of the year."
DIVOTS: Jim Renner and John Harkey Jr., the CEO of Consolidated
Restaurant Operations, Inc., won the pro-am portion of the tournament.
... Tim Wilkinson, playing in the final group with Jimmy Walker, closed
with a 73 and tied for seventh. That gets him into the Northern Trust
Open next week at Riviera. ... Walker was the fourth Pebble Beach winner
since 1994 to shoot 74 in the final round -- Johnny Miller in 1994,
Dustin Johnson in 2010, and Graeme McDowell in the 2010 U.S. Open.


Jim Otto Jersey .
Pretty soon he started hitting a few, and on Friday night he was a
career-best 6 of 6 from behind the arc.
Parsons scored 21 points and the Rockets picked up their fourth straight
win, rolling to an easy 114-95 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Shilique Calhoun Raiders Jersey .
Despite almost exhausting all methods of saying no by this point, the
B.C. native once again shot down the notion of facing his teammate.
However, MacDonalds reluctance appeared to raise the ire of Tyron
Woodley, who was preparing for a bout with Josh Koscheck.Durham, NH
(SportsNetwork.com) - All-American wide receiver R.J. Harris is
noted as being New Hampshires hardest worker.
No doubt hes the Wildcats best player.

Harris caught two touchdowns, including on a 61-yard screen pass in the
fourth
quarter that helped put away top-seeded New Hampshires 35-30 victory
over
eighth-seeded Chattanooga in the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs
Friday
night.

The win gives the Wildcats (12-1) a semifinal-round date at home next
weekend
against either fourth-seeded Eastern Washington or fifth-seeded
Illinois State,
who face each other in another quarterfinal on Saturday.

New Hampshire, making its 11th straight playoff appearance under coach
Sean
McDonnell, has captured 12 straight wins and 14 straight home games,
both
program records.

Harris decisive second touchdown was electrifying. New Hampshire clung
to a
28-24 lead in a back-and-forth game when it took possession of the ball
at its
39 following a Chattanooga punt early in the fourth quarter.

On first down, Harris went in motion and took a handoff from
quarterback Sean
Goldrich. Harris lateralled the ball to fellow wide receiver Jimmy
Giansante,
who then flipped it back to Goldrich. The senior signal caller lofted a
screen
pass to Harris in the backfield at the 30, who immediately picked up
blocks and
blew past Chattanooga defenders along the sideline to give the Wildcats
the
games first double-digit lead, 35-24, with 11:04 remaining to play.

Nick Cefalo then intercepted Chattanooga quarterback Jacob Huesman on
the Mocs
ensuing drive and New Hampshire begin milking game clock from there.
Huesman
had dominated the first half before the Wildcats had defensive answers
after
halftime.

But on Chattanoogas next possession, running back Derraine Craine
scored on an
8-yard pass from Huesman with 1:32 left to pull the Mocs with 35-30.

With no remaining timeouts, the Mocs needed to recover the ensuing
onside kick,
but New Hampshires Keith Parkinson did. The Wildcats ran out the clock
from
there and advanced to the national semifinals foor the second
consecutive
season. Cheap Tim Brown Jersey. Last year, they were eliminated at eventual national champion North Dakota
State one step shy of the national championship game.

Harris finished with seven receptions for 172 yards. Until his second
touchdown, the first-ever meeting between the two conference champions - New
Hampshire in CAA Football and Chattanooga in the Southern Conference - was
extremely tight.

Huesman had 428 total yards and accounted for three touchdowns in Chattanoogas
loss, which ended a seven-game losing streak. Goldrich threw for 228 yards and
three touchdowns for New Hampshire.

The Wildcats went ahead for good 28-24 on Nico Steritis 6-yard draw with 13:23
left in the fourth quarter. But the play nearly didnt happen.

Chattanooga defensive back Trevor Knight intercepted Goldrich in the Mocs
end zone. But video replay confirmed Knight didnt re-establish himself in the
end zone before catching the ball. On the next play, Steriti scored his second
touchdown of the game to erase a 24-22 New Hampshire deficit. An attempt for a
two-point conversion failed, however.

Trailing 22-21 after three quarters, Chattanooga (10-4) went ahead when
Henrique Ribeiro kicked a 27-yard field goal on the second play of the fourth
quarter. The kick stopped a string of four straight missed field goal attempts
by Ribeiro during the playoffs.

New Hampshire had kept seven of its previous opponents to under 20 points, but
Chattanooga took a 21-15 lead into halftime after Huesman scored from 1 yard
out with 21 seconds remaining in the second quarter. It completed a huge first
half in which he was 15-for-17 for 167 yards and rushed for another 64 yards
and two touchdowns.

His second touchdown erased a 15-14 Mocs deficit. Goldrich threw a 49-yard
scoring pass to Harris with 4:47 left and then holder Andy Vailas ran in a
faked extra point for the two-point conversion.

Still, Chattanooga controlled the clock for 21 minutes, 26 seconds in the first
half while outgaining New Hampshire in yards, 346 to 155.
