Another major, another first-time major winner on the PGA Tour.
Jimmy Walker held off the No. 1 golfer in the world in dramatic fashion Sunday to claim the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club with a 14-under-par 266.
Walker led Jason Day by three with one hole to play, but the Aussie made an impressive eagle on the par-5 18th to pull within one stroke. That put some pressure on Walker, who missed his second shot badly on the final hole. But he managed to put his next shot on the green and two-putted to save par and win the Wanamaker Trophy.
Despite the late drama, Walker led the tournament wire to wire, and that wouldn’t have been possible without these two birdies Sunday:
The win means all four 2016 major winners — Danny Willett (Masters), Dustin Joshnon (U.S. Open) and Henrik Stenson (British Open) — were first-timers.
