Ken Duke makes a hole-in-one, goes absolutely bananas after

January 20, 2014 at 12:29 a.m.

When you hear the name Ken Duke you don't normally equate it to excitement. The 44-year-old touring pro has made nearly $9 million over his career on the PGA Tour and picked up his first ever PGA Tour win a season ago at the Travelers Championship, but that isn't why he's here.

Duke is here because the guy gets really, really pumped up when he makes a hole-in-one. How excited? Like "21-year-old fraternity guy just got invited to the latest date dash from the best looking girl in the partner sorority" excited.

On Sunday at the Humana Challenge it was Duke who took full advantage of the par-3 17th hole, knocking his tee shot in for the hole-in-one and reacting like he just realized he has the best job in the world just won the lottery.

Duke finished 12-under par for the week, which is normally pretty good at a PGA Tour event but at the Humana is good enough for a T-69th.

Still, that shot is just as good at the Keegan Bradley hole-in-one from earlier in the week and definitely more animated.

The 49ers have suspended De'Vondre Campbell for final 3 games
The San Francisco 49ers suspended linebacker De’Vondre Campbell for the rest of the regular season Monday after he refused to enter a game after losing his starting job. The news came four days after Campbell's refusal to go into a game against the Los Angeles Rams was decried by coaches and teammates as a “selfish” act. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Campbell would no longer be part of the team, with the only question whether that would be by a suspension or an outright release.

US congressional negotiators to fund government through March 14, source says
Republican and Democratic negotiators in the U.S. Congress are closing in on a deal for a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through March 14, averting a partial shutdown that would otherwise begin Saturday, a source familiar with the talks said on Monday. The measure would likely keep the roughly $6.2 trillion federal budget running at its current level, funding everything from the military to air traffic controllers to federal securities regulators at their current level. The stopgap measure is needed because Congress failed to pass its one-dozen annual appropriations bills in time for the current fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1.
