JIMMY WALKER CAPTURES SONY OPEN
Jimmy Walker is now a two-time winner on the PGA Tour. Just three months after winning his first PGA Tournament at Frys.Com Open, Walker found the stroke of a champion again by winning the Sony Open on Sunday. He toiled on the PGA Tour for seven years and 187 tournaments without winning. Now it appears the stars have aligned for him.
In a wild final round, where four players were in the mix with an hour to go, Walker followed a clutch par save with three straight birdies to pull away from the pack. He closed with a 7-under 63 for a one-shot victory over Chris Kirk.
That's two wins in six starts for Walker. And while it's still only the middle of January, he's No. 1 in the Ryder Cup standings. Walker won the Frys.com Open in October, the first tournament of the new wraparound season. As the first multiple winner for the 2013-14 season, he is leading the FedEx Cup and closing in on cracking the top 30 in the world.
