PGA Championship 2016: Jimmy Walker goes wire to wire to win first major

Jimmy Walker went wire to wire Sunday to win the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club at 14 under.

The tournament saved its best for last.

After a sleepy first 16 holes in Round 4 — that featured Walker methodically making pars with few challenging him — the defending PGA champion, Jason Day, gave everyone something to cheer about with a captivating eagle on the final hole. At the same time, Walker made birdie on 17 to take a one-shot lead heading into the final hole.
