HONOLULU – It was here at the Sony Open a year ago when things started to worry Jimmy Walker.
“I was like, something is wrong. I can’t keep getting sick like this,” he said on Tuesday at Waialae.
It would be another four months before Walker would finally be diagnosed with Lyme disease and things became much worse before they got better. The medication doctors prescribed made him sensitive to sunlight and he struggled to find energy to practice.
“I couldn’t practice, the worst part was not being able to play with my kids,” said Walker, who has added 10 pounds since September.
