Nobody will take anything away from Jimmy Walker, who closed a bogey-free 3-under 67 with a 3-footer for par to finish at 14-under 266 and beat Jason Day by one stroke Sunday. All Day did to add to the drama was make an eagle 3 on No. 18 to get within a stroke.
"I figured birdieing 17 was huge and that was going to cap it off," Walker said. "And then Jason making eagle sure made my job a lot harder on the last hole.
"Really cool way to finish. Making a putt like that to win, right in the middle, was just awesome."
But the circumstances around some great golf were odd to say the least.
The leaders after the third round would always be paired together for the final round but not in this rain-delayed tournament. Day said he would have liked to be playing with Walker.
