2014 Sony Open in Hawaii winner Jimmy Walker (17-under finish, final round of 63) in his post-round interview with Steve Sands
Jimmy Walker –“I stayed patient. I made a really key par putt on 14 and the string of birdies there [down the stretch] was pretty awesome.”
Walker – “Today was awesome, I felt in control all day – emotions, mentally and physically and all that. It was really cool golf today.”
On Jimmy Walker’s playing style
Johnny Miller — “Very smooth swing and a very long hitter. He’s got the kind of game that would be really good at Augusta National, taking advantage of those five-pars.”
Gary Koch –“You can just sense the way he has carried himself, he just looks calm and in control.”
On Jimmy Walker’s potential on TOUR
Miller – “This guy’s time has come, there’s no doubt about it. Jimmy Walker is definitely one of the best players at the moment. I have a feeling this is going to be quite the year for him.”
On Jerry Kelly’s (15-under, 3rd place finish) success on the greens
Miller – “He’s making a lot of clutch putts for being 47. And I guarantee you he’s having the most fun of anyone.”
