Wrap Your Head Around Jimmy Walker, Three Wins Already

Doug Ferguson's game story details the AT&T National Pro-Am, where Jimmy Walker added his third win of the season.

Ferguson writes:

But it was a familiar outcome for Walker, a 35-year-old Texan who only four months ago was regarded as one of the best players to have never won on the PGA Tour. This was his third win of the PGA Tour season, a streak that began in October about an hour away at the Frys.com Open.

Walker joined some exclusive company. He is only the fourth player in the last 20 years to win three times in his first eight starts to a season. The others are Tiger Woods (who has done it eight times), Phil Mickelson and David Duval.

Ferguson also explains the Ryder Cup standings, which are based on money but Walker already is in great shape heading into the major season.

Jim McCabe and Alex Miceli team up for Golfweek's Five Things, with excellent notes on Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth's putting turnaround Sunday and runner-up Jim Renner.
