Daily Bears Reports 8/1: Jimmy Walker Wins PGA and Baylor’s Mandates are Moving Forward

Former Baylor Bear Jimmy Walker showed nerves of steel as he won the PGA Golf Championship on Sunday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, NJ. From WacoTrib and Associated Press:

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. It was Day, the defending champion and world's No. 1 player, down to his last chance and delivering with a 2-iron that landed in front of the pin and stopped 15 feet away for eagle.

Walker answered, like he had done all day, with a birdie for a three-shot lead.
