Jimmy Walker just about holds off late Jason Day rally to claim maiden major

Jimmy Walker has won the final major of 2016 by triumphing at the PGA Championship.

The Oklahoma-born golfer wins a major a for the first time in his career.

The 37-year-old carded a final round 67 at Baltusrol to just about hold off World No 1 Jason Day.

The Australian holed an eagle on his final hole to close to 13-under and within just one shot of Walker. 

But the American, who had started the tournament well by leading after Round 1, held his nerve to claim victory on 14-under.

Best of the Irish was Padraig Harrington who finished 6-under for the tournament after an excellent final two rounds.

The challenge of 2016 Open champion Henrik Stenson faded during the final round as he slumped back to 8-under after a round of 71 to finish in a tie for seventh.
