PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Jimmy Walker missed his tee time Friday at the Valspar Championship, but still made the cut.
Walker was penalized two shots after arriving late for his 7:39 a.m. starting time off Innisbrook’s first tee. He was paired with fellow major winners Justin Rose and Danny Willett in the day’s fifth group.
An official located Walker in the practice area a minute before he was scheduled to tee off, but Walker was unable to arrive at the tee in time.
Walker’s par on the first hole became a double-bogey after the penalty was applied. He bogeyed the fourth hole to fall to 4 over for the tournament but made five birdies and no bogeys the rest of the way. He shot 1-under 141 (72-69) to make the cut on the number.
“Pro tip.... don’t be late for your tee time,” Walker wrote on Instagram. “Thirty years in (tournament) golf and that’s a first. I hope we get to play the weekend.”
Walker, a six-time TOUR winner, is 211th in this season’s FedExCup, having made the cut in five of 15 starts.
