the longest final day in 64 years at a PGA Championship.And then Jason Day made
him do a little bit more.Walker was standing over an 8-foot birdie putt on the
par-5 17th hole Sunday when he heard a roar that caused him to twice back off
the putt. Day had just delivered with a 2-iron that landed in front of the pin
and stopped 15 feet away for a chance at eagle. The defending champion and
worlds No. 1 player was down to his last chance -- and he nailed it.?Walker
answered, like he had done all day, with a birdie for a three-shot lead.Moments
later, another roar.Day made the eagle putt, and the lead was down to one.There
was nothing easy about the day -- really about the week, for that matter, Walker
said. Especially coming down the last hole.He went for the 18th green, knowing
it was his easiest chance for the par he needed to win. The outcome was still in
doubt until Walker missed the green to the right, pitched out of deep rough to
35 feet and rolled his first putt about 3 feet past the cup.Walker calmly made
it to capture the PGA Championship, ending a long, wet week at Baltusrol. And he
still had just enough strength to hoist the 37-pound Wanamaker Trophy.[Day]
really put it on me to make a par, Walker said. Sometimes pars are hard. But we
got it.That par gave him a 3-under 67 and a one-shot victory. The 37-year-old
from Texas is now a major champion.Because of rain, the 36-hole final was the
longest in PGA Championship history since Jim Turnesa won his 36-hole match in
1952. Walker at least had time to rest in his travel bus -- hes a frequent
neighbor of Day on the PGA Tour -- and get right back out into the final round.
Walker, who shot a 68 in the morning for a one-shot lead over Day, didnt make a
bogey over the last 28 holes.Day, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only
back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, came out to the
18th green with his son to watch the finish. Day quickly found Walker and said,
Great stuff, mate.It was nice to get the eagle, just to try and make Jimmy think
about it, Day said after a 67. But obviously, Jimmy just played too good all
day.In a most peculiar final day at a major, the PGA Championship allowed for
preferred lies -- that never happens in a major -- because of nearly 4 inches of
rain during the week that drenched the Lower Course. Desperate to beat the clock
and avoid a second straight Monday finish at Baltusrol, the pairings stayed the
same for the final round.Walker and Day were playing with occasional mud on
their golf balls on the back nine of the third round Sunday morning. Some
players behind them were able to lift, clean and place their golf balls in short
grass in the fourth round.But it ended on a happy note for Walker. He is a major
champion, completing a sweep of first-time winners in the majors this year.
Better yet: It moved him from No. 29 to No. 4 in the Ryder Cup standings, all
but assuring him a spot on the team.He finished at 14-under 266, one shot from
David Toms record score in the 2001 PGA Championship.Walker began the back nine
by holing a 45-foot bunker shot on No. 10 and making a 30-foot birdie putt on
No. 11. The final birdie on the 17th was the most important because he had a
cushion. And thanks to Day, Walker needed it.Two-putting from that is pretty
difficult, especially trying to go for your first major, Day said. But hes
handled himself pretty good.British Open champion Henrik Stenson, trying to join
Ben Hogan as the only players to win back-to-back majors at age 40, faded with a
double-bogey on the 15th hole.It was a long day. I never felt like I brought my
A game, said Stenson, who started the final round two shots behind and closed
with a 71. I think I hit more poor shots in the two rounds today than in the
previous six or seven rounds combined.For the second straight major, this became
a duel over the final hour.Day pulled within one shot with a 20-foot birdie putt
at No. 11, but he never had another birdie chance closer than 25 feet until the
two par 5s at the end. Even so, the Australian battled to the end with the
second of two 2-irons at 18 leading him to shout, Get back there! And it
did.Thanks to Walker holding his nerves, it just wasnt enough.God, just to be in
it and be there and have a chance and then to finish it off is just ... its so
gratifying, Walker said.
