Great win — Part II
For those still a-buzz over local golfer Billy Walters' win at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, here's an update from The Golf Channel Web site.
"In the wake of the flap surrounding the team portion of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, amateur Billy Walters has been cleared by tournament officials amid questions that his 11 handicap was inflated.
"Walters, is the erstwhile Las Vegas golf hustler, who won the event with pro partner Fredrik Jacobson by a record 10 shots. When Jacobson finished 4-under on his ball, many people assumed Walters accounted for the other 34 of the team's 38 under total. In actuality, Jacobson made 15 birdies and two eagles over 72 holes. And Walters, who didn't break 80 on his own ball in any of the four rounds, played well on the holes Jacobson faltered.
"It was classic "ham and egg" as Walters described it."
