Jimmy Walker's One-Hole Round With Tiger

Sony Open winner Jimmy Walker stopped by the Farmers Insurance Open interview room to talk about a few topics. For those interested in his astrophotography, he explained in depth how it works and it's pretty fascinating stuff. (Full transcript here.)

Thursday Walker is paired with Tiger Woods and seems unfazed. Unlike the one hole he played with him several years ago.

Doug Ferguson's notes column includes Walker's story.

So this was the one hole they played together, and it was memorable for Walker for one reason.

"I am literally shaking," he said. "I have every bad-swing thought possible — don't shank it, top it, all that stuff. I make contact. I look up and it's heading right at it. Can't see it because it's kind of in the setting sun. We walked down there and he asked what's going on, I told him I Monday qualified. We talked and it was really cool and he was really nice. We get down there and his ball is about 15 feet away and mine's about 6 feet away." Woods picked up his ball and was on his way. But there was a lesson for Walker.

"I can remember thinking, 'Man, if I was that nervous and I hit that good of a shot, I guarantee I will never be that nervous again my entire life — ever,'" Walker said.

Walker tees off Thursday at 10:40 am with Woods and Jordan Spieth.
