For Jimmy Walker, following Friday’s second round at Kingston Heath, the conclusion was simple.
“We just didn’t make enough birdies today,” the reigning PGA champion said after he and partner Rickie Fowler posted a best-ball 67 at the ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf.
As difficult as it was to score during Day 1’s alternate-shot format, the second round’s switch to best ball provided a valuable opportunity, and the U.S. failed to take full advantage.
While other teams went low, Walker and Fowler proved unable to beat the day’s scoring average of 66.
