trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, came out to the 18th gr

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Jimmy Walker did everything required of a major champion on the longest final day in 64 years at a PGA Championship.And then Jason Day made him do a little bit more.Walker was standing over an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th hole Sunday when he heard a roar that caused him to twice back off the putt. Day had just delivered with a 2-iron that landed in front of the pin and stopped 15 feet away for a chance at eagle. The defending champion and worlds No. 1 player was down to his last chance -- and he nailed it.?Walker answered, like he had done all day, with a birdie for a three-shot lead.Moments later, another roar.Day made the eagle putt, and the lead was down to one.There was nothing easy about the day -- really about the week, for that matter, Walker said. Especially coming down the last hole.He went for the 18th green, knowing it was his easiest chance for the par he needed to win. The outcome was still in doubt until Walker missed the green to the right, pitched out of deep rough to 35 feet and rolled his first putt about 3 feet past the cup.Walker calmly made it to capture the PGA Championship, ending a long, wet week at Baltusrol. And he still had just enough strength to hoist the 37-pound Wanamaker Trophy.[Day] really put it on me to make a par, Walker said. Sometimes pars are hard. But we got it.That par gave him a 3-under 67 and a one-shot victory. The 37-year-old from Texas is now a major champion.Because of rain, the 36-hole final was the longest in PGA Championship history since Jim Turnesa won his 36-hole match in 1952. Walker at least had time to rest in his travel bus -- hes a frequent neighbor of Day on the PGA Tour -- and get right back out into the final round. Walker, who shot a 68 in the morning for a one-shot lead over Day, didnt make a bogey over the last 28 holes.Day, trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play, came out to the 18th green with his son to watch the finish. Day quickly found Walker and said, Great stuff, mate.It was nice to get the eagle, just to try and make Jimmy think about it, Day said after a 67. But obviously, Jimmy just played too good all day.In a most peculiar final day at a major, the PGA Championship allowed for preferred lies -- that never happens in a major -- because of nearly 4 inches of rain during the week that drenched the Lower Course. Desperate to beat the clock and avoid a second straight Monday finish at Baltusrol, the pairings stayed the same for the final round.Walker and Day were playing with occasional mud on their golf balls on the back nine of the third round Sunday morning. Some players behind them were able to lift, clean and place their golf balls in short grass in the fourth round.But it ended on a happy note for Walker. He is a major champion, completing a sweep of first-time winners in the majors this year. Better yet: It moved him from No. 29 to No. 4 in the Ryder Cup standings, all but assuring him a spot on the team.He finished at 14-under 266, one shot from David Toms record score in the 2001 PGA Championship.Walker began the back nine by holing a 45-foot bunker shot on No. 10 and making a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 11. The final birdie on the 17th was the most important because he had a cushion. And thanks to Day, Walker needed it.Two-putting from that is pretty difficult, especially trying to go for your first major, Day said. But hes handled himself pretty good.British Open champion Henrik Stenson, trying to join Ben Hogan as the only players to win back-to-back majors at age 40, faded with a double-bogey on the 15th hole.It was a long day. I never felt like I brought my A game, said Stenson, who started the final round two shots behind and closed with a 71. I think I hit more poor shots in the two rounds today than in the previous six or seven rounds combined.For the second straight major, this became a duel over the final hour.Day pulled within one shot with a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 11, but he never had another birdie chance closer than 25 feet until the two par 5s at the end. Even so, the Australian battled to the end with the second of two 2-irons at 18 leading him to shout, Get back there! And it did.Thanks to Walker holding his nerves, it just wasnt enough.God, just to be in it and be there and have a chance and then to finish it off is just ... its so gratifying, Walker said.

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho rose from his chair and was about to leave the post-match news conference when he turned to his audience, threw his arms up and said: Finally, Ive lost to Arsenal.It was a tongue-in-cheek remark from Mourinho but it summed up his feelings perfectly. United conceded an 89th-minute goal by Olivier Giroud to draw 1-1 with Arsenal in the English Premier League on Saturday, leaving Mourinhos side with an increasingly familiar deflated feeling at Old Trafford this season.United has dominated its last three home games in the league -- against Stoke, Burnley and now Arsenal -- and come away with draws from all of them.We all know internally, Mourinho said, that in this moment we are the unlucky team in the Premier League.Girouds superb header, from fellow substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains right cross, was Arsenals only attempt on target in a match that United controlled at Old Trafford. United did the same against Burnley last time it played at Old Trafford, having 37 attempts on goal but drawing 0-0.Mourinho is cutting a frustrated figure at United, which remains a work in progress in his first season in charge. But he now hasnt lost in 12 Premier League meetings with Arsenal across two spells with Chelsea and one game with United, and stretched his unbeaten run in competitive meetings with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger -- his bitter coaching rival -- to 14 matches.It was a flat and all-too-familiar performance at Old Trafford by Arsenal, who hasnt beaten United away in the league since September 2006 and fell behind to Juan Matas 68th-minute goal. The Spain playmaker met a right-wing cut-back by Ander Herrera with a low, first-time shot into the ccorner for his fourth goal of the season.ddddddddddddMourinho was heading for his most important victory since arriving at United, only for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to sprint past Marcus Rashford, reach the byline and cross for his fellow substitute Giroud to head home at the far post.We had not our usual style going forward. We were not sharp or fluent enough, said Wenger, who suggested that Arsenal might have a mental block when it plays at Old Trafford.Giroud is starting to make a serious claim for a starting place now he is fully fit following a delayed start to the season after the European Championship. The France striker, who has lost his place to Alexis Sanchez as Arsenals lone striker, scored two goals off the bench in the last away game at Sunderland.He is a bit frustrated, Wenger said. That is normal. He is ready to go again.This fixture has provided plenty of drama down the years but there was little to get the crowd excited about here, with the teams decision to field two defensive midfielders stifling much of the attacking play.United had the better of the game, but only created half chances until Matas goal.His future at United looked bleak after Mourinho was hired by United, with the Portuguese coach having sold Mata to United in January 2014 when both were at Chelsea. Mourinho then left the Spaniard distinctly unimpressed by substituting him in the Community Shield in August, soon after bringing him on as a substitute.But Mata appears to be a central figure in Mourinhos plans at United, and was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 85th minute.
