two zebras got loose in carmichael last night. take a look. one of them was loose for five hour before he was captured. the zebra's owner was trying to load them into a trailer when they were spooked by a couple of dogs and took off. one of the zebras was hit by a car, but it got back up and kept on going until he was finally caught. the vets checked him out and he will be okay. a tough chase there. shu here with the pga tournament and the rules violation he disagrees with. >> i do disagree a little bit. we had quite a bit of fun in the pga championship at whistling straits.

dustin johnson had a chance to win on 18 and then thought he was in a playoff, but he ends up in fifth place. a two-stroke lead to start the day. the kid from ices diden outside sack -- the kid from dixon doubles the hole and shoots an 81. bubba watson caught fire. the long birdie putt. he shoots a four under 68. he is in the clubhouse at 11 under par. germany had the lead and made this gutsy par putt. then on the par 317 and dustin johnson takes the lead with the birdie, his second in a row and he is 12 under. he now needs this par putt to win it. he pushes it. he thought he would join them in the playoff. but hold on. johnson with a possible rules violation. his second shot on 18. apparently it is in a bunker. is that a bunker? it doesn't look like it. the rules committee says it is. that's a two-stroke penalty. he go from 11 to 9 under and he is out of the playoff. watson birdied the first time.

all square on 18. his second shot and watson get wet and he double bogies the hole. with his bogey putt to win the first major and got it. he wins the 92nd pga championship. >> i just won my first major, and i'm just on tour since four years. i got goose bumps talking about it. it is fantastic. >> it never once crossed my mind i was in a sand trap. it is very unfortunate. the only worse thing that could happen is if i made that putt on the last hole. but i never once thought that it was a sand trap. >> that was a very questionable call by the pga. johnson was professional. i would have gone ballistic. that's two majors he has given away this season. we have another question, what is wrong with tim lincecum? the padres knock him around.
