He American Jimmy Walker is developed in the third man in win the last Major of the year, the PGA Championship, from tip to tip. After starting with 65 hits, five underpar on Thursday, Walker kept his pace to score 66 and 68, respectively, in the second and third round. The latter had to play yesterday itself because the Saturday a storm stopped everything.
After completing the 18-hole course at noon on Sunday, players should continue with the same fellow that had started the third round. This, trying to conclude the tournament without having to go to on Monday and looking forward to that suddenly would have a tie-breaker, something that is made to the sum of three holes in the PGA Championship. That further complicated things.
The final round was spectacular. Walker played without errors, but without turning asingle birdie in the first nine holes. This made the defender of the title, Jason Day, and the recent winner of the British open, Henrik Stenson, to start you breathing nearby. It had to a just hit and with nine holes by playing. Walker changed things to shoot birdies on holes 10 and 11, and returned to take three away.
Stenson crashed out of contention with a bogey and a double bogey. On the otherhand, Day, number one in the world, was superb. In this legendary field of Baltusrolcloses with two par 5, 17 and 18, which makes that things can change at any time. Day, playing ahead of Walker, missed a short putt on hole 17 to make birdie, while the pointer was the move of the tournament: embocaba a three-meter putt to take three of advantage and a hole to play.
Day went to the 18th hole as a wounded beast and with two sensational shots placed the ball very close to Eagle, which became. That you put to Walker the task inescapable: if wanted to win, should make at least pair in the hole end.
Walker, who looked on the Board in the hole 17, saw that there Day did not make birdie. Then made a smart decision: played an iron 4 output, seeking only to place theball in the middle of the fairway. Later, saw perfectly when Day became the Eagle, and was there when nobody understood what he did: instead of grab an iron again and place the ball forward to play a simple iron more or less 90 yards, was playing with the tournament and pulled out a wood. He played the second shot, opened it and the ball went to stand at a thick rough on the right side, with a short flag and a huge bunker ahead. Fortunately for him, he could make a good contact and simply upload the ball to green to stay with a putt of more or less 10 meters and finished witha pair.
Few disciplines is that a player so far down in the world rankings can play your youand beat the number one: Walker began the week in the box 48. It was also something that is not usual in golf: completed four players winning poker for the first time in Majors in the year. Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and nowWalker.
Jordan Spieth showed its class and finished in the post 13, and Rory McIlroy was disappointed not pass cut. Northern Ireland through a very bad time and will have tomodify his game much if you want to take the baton left by Tiger Woods.
