Jimmy Walker won his first major championship on Sunday at Baltusrol in the 2016 PGA Championship. Three of the top 10 players in the world were there to congratulate him as Jason Day, the man he just beat, joined Walker's Ryder Cup pals Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler. All three waited in the wings to celebrate.
Love & respect ❤️

After the win, Walker gets hugs from:
His caddie
His family
Jason Day
Rickie Fowler
Jordan Spieth https://t.co/BHNC2YV7Hk
"As far as Jordan, Jason hanging out, we bus it together," said Walker, who literally takes a RV to tournaments (which Day does as well). "We're next to each other every week. We see each other. I see Jason more than anybody because we are literally staying in the same spot every week. It's been great to see what he's done with golf and his game. You guys have watched it. It's incredible. And to be able to play alongside of him and play with him and to kind of hold him off there at the end, I mean, for me, it's great."
Jimmy Walker and Jason Day each travel in RVs. Day calls 'em "bus partners." Combined, they won a total of $2.88 million today.

"It's amazing sportsmanship," added Walker. "These guys came out and they said congrats. We're friends. And to have Jordan and Rickie; Rickie, he's my partner, and to have him out there and to have Jordan there, we've all had a lot of fun together.
"I think it's great that these young guys ask me to come play and hang out with them. Makes me feel awesome that the young crew out here likes to hang out and have a good time. So [it] speaks volumes. It's just amazing to me seeing those guys come out and support me, because you don't have to, and they did. Rickie's still out there running around. I think he's ready for a drink."
The feeling was mutual from young Fowler.
"He always looks at the bright side of everything," said Fowler of Walker. "He's one of the best guys I know on and off the golf course. This is huge for him. I loved having him as a partner at the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup."
It's always fun to see somebody other pros love win a big one like Walker did on Sunday.
