Walker sunk a 13-footer on the 347-yard par 4 at TPC San Antonio to join Rickie Fowler at 8-under par in the $1 million Kodak Challenge competition.

Charlie Wi joined Walker in carding a third round Kodak Challenge birdie Sunday at the Valero Texas Open. Wi is currently two shots behind Walker and Fowler.

The Kodak Challenge Moment of the Day belonged to Mark Hensby, who dropped his approach shot just 9 inches from the cup. Chad Campbell's 23-footer from just off the green was the longest Kodak Challenge birdie Sunday.

Kodak Challenge hole #17 was the 2nd easiest hole on the course Sunday. The pros scored 17 birdies, 42 pars and 4 bogies Sunday.

The Valero Texas Open was the 14th of 30 tournaments to participate in the 2010 $1 million Kodak Challenge competition. The next Kodak Challenge hole is the par 3 #13 of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial on May 25-30.

About the Kodak Challenge Hole at the Valero Texas Open - Par-4 347-yard #17
The 347-yard hole #17 of TPC San Antonio is a very challenging par-4. Off of the tee, the hole is certainly drivable, but pros will face a large bunker along the right side of the fairway. And that is just the start of the fun. Unique to hole #17 is a bunker that is positioned directly center in the green. However, if the pin is set in front of the bunker, finding one of the deep front bunkers is no bargain either.
