Walker: 'Jason Day made me work but it was awesome'

  • PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker and runner up Jason Day spoke Sunday (31 July) after the final round of the tournament at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Walker:

    "My emotions; you know, Jason, when he holes out for eagle on the last hole doesn't give me a whole lot of time to soak it in. It was still game time. If he makes birdie, I've got a couple to play with and I can relax a little bit, but I didn't get to relax. I was standing out there on the fairway and just said, Andy and I both said, let's go for it. I didn't say this, but I figured, 19 times out of 20, you're going to make a five going for the green from right there. We had a good front number, and that's what we did, and went with it. Ended up having to make a little, you know, tester coming in and just buried it. It was awesome."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Day:

    "It was nice to get the eagle, just to try and make Jimmy think about it, but obviously Jimmy just played too good all day. The birdie on 17 was key for him. Yeah, a little disappointed, but you know what, at the end of the day, I came in here with not the greatest preparation. I'm very, very happy with how I played all week. I know exactly how Jimmy feels, because I did exactly that last year. So it was actually quite nice to be able to see him celebrate with his family and friends there. I know exactly that feeling, and he's a very deserving winner. So hats off, because I mean, it's not easy to win tournaments, and he controlled himself pretty darn well all day. So you know, once again, very happy with the defense. But at the end of the day, it wasn't good enough."
