Springfield (USA): Unheralded Jimmy Walker captured his first major title in wire-to-wire fashion, outdueling top-ranked defending champ Jason Day down the back nine Sunday at rain-soaked Baltusrol to win the PGA Championship.

The 37-year-old American sank a tense three-foot par putt on the final hole to defeat the Australian star by one stroke, finishing off a bogey-free three-under par 67 final round to stand on 14-under par 266.
"It was a battle all day," said Walker, who like Day had to play 36 holes Sunday due to thunderstorms Saturday that did not let them even begin their third rounds.
