Highlights | Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker lead at the PGA Championship
The same thing occurred in 2011 and before that in 2003 and on each occasion there was a rush to explain the phenomenon.
There is no doubt that theadvances in technology and sports science have made the marginsfiner. But that does not mean there has been a recession in drama. Indeed, in this post-Tiger Woods parity era, anything but.
Day eagling the 18th to force Walker to make a par, and the latter then inexplicably going for the par-five green in two before having to hack it out of thick rough and holing a nervy three-footer, was a fitting finale to a major campaign full of incident; from Spieths meltdown at Augusta, to Johnsons rules-rumpus breakthrough at Oakmont; to Stensons classic Open duel with Phil Mickelson.
Walker is a worthy member of the quartet. Theunassuming Texan waited 187 PGA Tour starts to win his first title, but four years later has six, including this major, to his name.
