SPRINGFIELD, New Jersey (Reuters) - Jimmy Walker said winning the PGA Championship on Sunday for his first career major was a matter of trust, both in himself and in his game.
The 37-year-old Texan showed he had what it takes by holding up over 36 holes over the sopping wet Baltusrol course on the final day for a one-shot win over world number one and defending champion Jason Day.
"I felt confident. I felt confident in myself. I felt confident in what I was doing. Felt confident in my golf swing, my putting, my chipping," said Walker, who had missed four cuts from his last eight events but found something "clicked" over the last nine holes of last week's Canadian Open.
