Jimmy Walker continued is run of fine play on the PGA TOUR with a 5-under-par 33-34=67 in the final round of THE PLAYERS, ending his week at 6-under 282.

Walker's round was blemish-free, and he stood at 7-under through 16 holes when he stepped onto the tee at the par-3 17th featuring the iconic island green. His approach landed on dry land at the back of the green, but trickled just over the edge and into the water, leading to double bogey. He had a chance to bounce back on the 18th, but missed a 9'2" birdie bid. In all, he hit 15 GIR and gained over three strokes on the field with the flat stick, despite finding just half of TPC Sawgrass' 14 fairways. He now heads home to Texas for the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

Jimmy Walker signed for a 1-under-par 34-37=71 in the final round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to share eighth at 13-under 275.

Walker briefly broke through and took the lead when he drained an eagle putt from 27'1" on the seventh and followed it up with a 10'1" birdie on the eighth. The moment got to him, as he would make a messy double bogey on the ninth before eventually playing his final 10 holes in 3-over. It's good for his fourth top 10 of the season, but the first victory will have to wait a bit longer. He now heads to North Carolina for the Wells Fargo Championship.

Jimmy Walker spun a 6-under-par 34-32=66 in the third round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and heads into the finale at 12-under 204.

Walker's round opened with a disappointing birdie on the par-5 second when he failed to convert an 8'6" eagle opportunity. His round gathered momentum when he circled five birdies on an eight-hole span beginning with the par-5 eighth. He would give back a stroke on the par-4 16th after an errant approach, then respond with a par on the 17th and a birdie on the par-5 18th. He will try and put a bow on is third top five of 2013 in the final round.

The Texan hit 12 greens and erased a lone bogey with six birdies at TPC Louisiana today. Walker's set included conversions from 11'4" and 22'5" at the 16th and 17th holes, respectively.

Jimmy Walker finished up his week at the Shell Houston Open with a final-round 4-under-par 32-36=68 to end the week at 3-under 285.

He opened his round with back-to-back birdies, and then tacked on an eagle from 24'6" on the par-5 eighth. He then traded a birdie at 13 with a bogey at the 14th, with all pars the rest of the way. His history at Redstone hasn't been all that impressive over the years, so his performance this week speaks more to his current form. He now heads to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open. Walker is a resident of San Antonio, so he'll be sleeping in his own bed this coming week.

Jimmy Walker endured one of the more challenging yet ultimately satisfying rounds of the year today at Redstone where he signed for a 1-under-par 40-31=71.

As the nines imply, it was a rocky beginning for the veteran, but even that started wonderfully, with birdie conversions of 19'5" and 26'3" at the first and second holes, respectively. After a par at 3, he carded consecutive bogeys, the first of which a 6 at the fourth hole where he rinsed his tee ball. He found more danger off the tee at 6 where he'd take a penalty and eventually three-putt from 54'1" for a triple bogey-7. After a standard-issue par at the par-3 seventh, he blasted his second at 8 from a greenside bunker into the pond and two-putt for a double bogey-7. That left him 5-over through eight. With the carnage behind him, Walker picked himself up and played out the string in bogey-free 6-under with four birdies and an eagle hole-out from 93 yards at the par-3 13th hole. Thanks to the inspiring rally, he snuck inside the top 10 at the midpoint at 5-under 139, five strokes off the pace of the overnight lead.

At Redstone today, he hit 12 greens and limited the damage to one bogey while reeling off five birdies. Three of those par breakers found the cup from outside 10 feet, including conversions of 16 feet at 10 and 31 feet at 17. He signed his card sitting four strokes back of the clubhouse lead.

Jimmy Walker scored another top 10, this time at the Arnold Palmer Invitational due in part to a final-round 2-over-par 38-36=74 that kept him at 6-under 282.

Walker was one of the most consistent golfers on the planet before taking some time off following the Northern Trust Open for the birth of a child. Since coming back, he shared 30th at Tampa Bay last week and took care of business at Bay Hill this week. He will return to his home state for the Shell Houston Open later this week.
