AREMA TAKES A POINT FROM SELANGOR IN AFC CUP

Image
AFC CUP: SELANGOR 1 - AREMA 1 Arema Indonesia salvaged a point from their AFC Cup Group F opener against Selangor as a late goal by Nigeria-born Indonesia international defender Victor Igbonefo earned them a 1-1 draw against the Malaysia side at Selayang Stadium on Tuesday. There was a lively atmosphere during the match with fans of both teams providing vocal support well before kick-off. Arema enjoyed early good possession but they were caught out in the ninth minute when the home side broke quickly with Indonesian forward Andik Vermansyah playing a delightful through ball to Paulo Rangel , who drilled the ball past Arema goalkeeper Kurnia Meiga Hermansyah to give his side the lead. Abdul Shukur squandered the Red Giants ' best chance in the 52nd minute when he shot wide after finding himself in a one-on-one situation with Hermansyah. That miss would prove costly when the visitors equalised with 17 minutes left. They were awarded a free-kick on the l

Steve Darby ’s men were not rattled by the goal and a freekick from skipper Mohd Badhri Rad

BUBBA WATSON WINS FIRST TITLE SINCE 2012

Image
Bubba Watson lost track of time. He didn't realize it had been nearly two years and 41 tournaments since his last victory. A reminder came Sunday afternoon, after he birdied the 18th hole to win the Northern Trust Open by two shots. Walking up the steps to the clubhouse he saw his son, Caleb, who was adopted shortly before Watson won the 2012 Masters . He played the final 39 holes without a bogey. He had a 64-64 weekend. He made up a four-shot deficit in six holes, and closed with the lowest round by a winner of this tournament in 28 years. Watson won by two shots over Dustin Johnson , who closed with a 66 for the second straight week and got the same result. Watson was not alone in his green jacket that day. This time, wife and son were at Riviera to watch a masterpiece. Photos by: Fadzil Hisham / Tigers Super Sports Follow us on Facebook !

JIMMY WALKER WINS THIRD TITLE AT PEBBLE BEACH

Image
Jimmy Walker might have had a hard time finding himself among the stars. Four months ago, he began his eighth season on the PGA Tour with no wins in 187 attempts. With a little more drama than he wanted Sunday in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am , he held on for his third victory in his last eight tournaments. In the last 20 years on the PGA Tour, only Tiger Woods , Phil Mickelson and David Duval have won so often so early in a season. Walker had a six-shot lead at the start of the final round. He was still five shots clear when he made the turn, and he was two shots ahead with two to play. With two putts for the win from 25 feet, he ran his birdie attempt about 5 feet by the hole and had to make that to avoid a playoff with Dustin Johnson and Jim Renner . Walker held on for a one-shot win to become the fourth Pebble Beach winner since 1994 to shoot 74 in the final round It wasn't the finish that he wanted. For now, the stars are aligned for Walker better than a
