The Plantation Course delivered big time this afternoon during the final round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Even though Jason Day made a late run with a course record tying 62, the Tournament basically boiled down to a two man, head to head struggle between Jimmy Walker and Patrick Reed. After making par at 13 Walker headed to the 14th tee with a three stroke lead. It appeared to be his tournament to win or lose.

The record will show that Patrick Reed won the title, propelled by a scintillating eagle two at the par 4 16th. There is no doubt that his finish was brilliant and he’s a very deserving champion.  However, I have a feeling Jimmy Walker is feeling pretty bad tonight. I wouldn’t call his finish a collapse (1 over par the last 8 holes) but I still believe that despite Reed’s heroics, it was Jimmy Walker’s tournament to win. He simply didn’t perform the way he is capable, under the pressure. .

Over the last couple of years, I have grown to become a huge Jimmy Walker fan. Not only is he great player, he is a terrific person. He will learn from today’s experience and come back strong…he will be in the winners circle again soon. It just might be this week at Sony.
