PGA Championship: Jimmy Walker Wins 1st Major By One Stroke Over Jason Day

It's time to check another name off the list of "Best Golfers Never to Have One a Major" - 37 year-old American Jimmy Walker. Walker jump in the Official World Golf Rankings from 48th place to the 15th best player in the world. While Walker will not be representing the US in the Olympics, he has moved into 14th place in the 2015-2016 FeDex Cup standing and assured himself a spot on the 2016 US Ryder Cup team.  Walker once rose to 10th in the world in April 2015, fresh off his fifth  PGA Tour win in 18 months at the Valero Texas Open, but a winless drought thereafter saw him nearly slip outside the top 50 in the world for the first time in three years. A testament to the strength of recent major champions, Walker at 48th in the world was the lowest ranked major champion of the last five years, dating back to 108th-ranked Keegan Bradley's PGA win at Atlantic Athletic Club in 2011. Prior to Walker, all but one of the past nine major champions has been ranked 12th or better at the time of their victory and seven of them were sixth in the world or higher.
