LAS VEGAS – Jimmy Walker’s struggles from last season followed him into his first start of the 2017-18 campaign.
The 2016 PGA champion is heading home after missing the 1-over cut at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Walker struggled through 2017 as he battled the lingering effects of what turned out to be Lyme disease, a diagnosis he received in April after months of unexplained fatigue.
He recorded just one top-10 finish, a T-9 at the Tournament of Champions in January, and ended his season with missed cuts at the PGA and Northern Trust.
