Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Standing over her third shot on the par-4 15th on Friday, Slovakian Ladies European Tour pro Pia Babnik was just outside of the podium places. Her tee shot had just found the water, but at one-under on her round following a scintillating 66 on Thursday, Babnik just needed to salvage bogey to keep herself in the mix heading into Saturday’s decisive finale. Instead, she shanked one so far out to sea it might have landed in the Mediterranean.
