Danny Walker was not supposed to participate in the players, but the American fulfills the dream of childhood by directing to compete in the pioneering event in PGA Tour.
PgA Tour was not part of the original field of this week at TPC Sawgrass, for the 284th world to earn a call at the last minute on Thursday morning when Jason Day withdrew due to the disease.
Walker discovered his late entry through a phone call – while in the Treasury Room toilet – less than two hours from the time of the starting point, with the Korn Ferry round in the spotlight alongside the pioneering heroes Jordan Sbeith and Winddham Clark.
Walker handed over the tours of 73, 70 and 66 during the first two days
“This means the world for me,” Walker said. “I wanted to play in this event since I was a young child, especially I lived here locally. I saw this with a set of times in the past few years, so I was not enthusiastic.
“I went and sat in my car for a few minutes after that, and she called me to hit me a little, and I might leave a rupture. It was great. I was just excited. It was a little shock, because I didn’t really expect to enter.”
Walker fought at the weekend in the cutting mark after rounds of 73 and 70, and handed him a long time on Saturday morning alongside Major Shin Laurie winner, as he took advantage of the best conditions to deploy 66 of the third round.

“Once you make the weekend, it is easy to free because you have nothing to lose,” Walker said. “I can’t go back, you can not only go forward at that point. I have been able to keep this stunning ball momentum.”
Walker has finished inside the best 40 times in its five beginnings in the PGA tour this season, after he got his promotion by the best 30 years in the Tour Korn Ferry list last year, as the 29-year-old did not even have the Wikipedia page-before his third tour-because of his limited personal file.
“This is the place where I wanted to be, I play in these events,” said Walker Sky Sports. “It is difficult to put it in the right quorum, it is a long time of hard work and get my game where I want to be at this level.
“Any opportunities we can get early in the year to play in the biggest events can create your entire season. Moreover, the experience of playing with major champions is invaluable.”
Walker has lived in the Jacksonville region since 2019 and played TPC Sawgrass “near 100 times”, making the players feel that they were “his hometown” in a place where he dealt with all possible elements over the years.
