Butch Harmon reflects on Jimmy Walkers strong start to the PGA Championship and Dustin Johnsons disappointing opening round at Baltusrol. I said on our show at the start of the day that Dustin Johnson was the perennial favourite here this week. Walker holds a one-shot lead over the chasing pack He has played better than anybody over the past couple of months and this course suits his game, but he went and shot 77, which just goes to show how much I know! Our colleague Rich Beem was impressive today, coming out of the blocks and starting birdie, birdie over the first two holes. Johnson faces a battle to avoid an early exit The man who tops the leaderboard though is Jimmy Walker, who putted beautifully today and took just 25 putts over the course of his round.When you watch his putts back its noticeable how aggressive hes hitting them and how fast theyre going in to the hole, which is a sign youre putting well. Walker holds a one-shot lead over the chasing pack It has been a frustrating year so far for Jimmy. He has been working very hard on his swing and the mental side of his game and it showed off today.He had been struggling for a while and hasnt been putting well for him, up until today. Its very easy in golf to lose your confidence, where things can bug you and you can suddenly go from winning five times in 18 months like he did to not being able to do anything. Putting misery for McIlroy Northern Irishman fails to make a birdie in opening 74 at PGA Championship You can then start blaming yourself or getting into arguments with friends and your whole demeanour can change. Hes turning himself around and he comes to the golf course and is starting to play beautifully. He has been saying for a few months now that its close and that he was just waiting for something to happen, so its good to see that it now is.

Sundays game against the Colorado Rapids at B.C.

When it opened up again, he let it fly. Horford knocked down a 20-foot jumper with 4.2 seconds left and the Hawks rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half, stunning the Dallas Mavericks 88-87 on Friday night. "I had that shot before, and I didnt take it," Horford said. "Shelvin (Mack, a Hawks guard) kept telling me, Thats your shot. You need to shoot it. When the opportunity came again, I knocked it down." Jeff Teague scored 25 points for the Hawks, while Horford finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks were up 70-55 when point guard Jose Calderon went out late in the third quarter with an injured right ankle. X-rays were negative but he did not return. Without Calderon running the offence, Dallas totally bogged down. Rookie guard Shane Larkin had a miserable night, going 0 for 4 from the field and turning it over four times. The Mavericks hit just 38 per cent, with Vince Carter missing badly on the final shot of the game. "Calderon is a big part of what they do," said Hawks forward Paul Millsap, who hit a huge 3-pointer over Dirk Nowitzki with 1:16 remaining to give the Hawks a chance. "Without him on the court, it kind of helped us out." Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak and climbed back above .500 at 9-8. The Mavericks made 3 of 19 shots in the final quarter, their last field goal coming on Shawn Marions jumper with 5:05 remaining for an 85-77 lead. Dallas managed only two more points the rest of the way, a pair of free throws by DeJuan Blair with 3:27 left. Atlanta scored the final seven points, capped by Horfords jumper after the defence sagged away from him near the top of the key. "Jeff tried to attack and they kind of backed off," Horford said. "I just took what the defence gave me." Calderon and Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 16 points apiece, while Marion chipped in with 15. It was a brutal loss for Dallas, which dipped to 2-6 on the road. "They play good in their house," Marion said. "But still, we should have won this game." Calderon wasnt even sure when he injured his ankle, saaying it happened sometime in the first half and kept getting worse.dddddddddddd Calderon hopes to return when the Mavericks host Minnesota on Saturday night. "I dont know if somebody hit me or I hit the floor," Calderon said. "Thats why its kind of weird. Teague carried much of the load for the Hawks, bouncing back from a four-point effort in a loss to Houston. He kept getting to the foul line, doled out six assists and didnt turn it over until he lost the ball out of bounds with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining. Lou Williams made his first start for the Hawks since coming back from knee surgery that kept him out much of last season and the first few weeks of this season. He scored a season-high 12 points. The Hawks jumped out to a 23-18 lead in the first quarter, but the Mavericks scored the final 10 points of the period to lead at the break. Dallas got much of its production beyond the arc, making 6 of 7 from 3-point range. Calderon went 3 for 3, Marion hit a pair of long-range jumpers and Carter chipped in with one. Nowitzki missed all three of his shots and was held scoreless in the opening quarter. But he warmed up in the second, knocking down Dallas first six points for a 16-0 run that extended the lead to 34-23. The Mavericks maintained a double-digit edge through most of the second and third quarters, going to the final period up 75-64. Their biggest lead was 66-49 midway through the third. NOTES: Kyle Korver skipped his second straight game with bruised ribs, again delaying his quest to set an NBA record for consecutive games with a 3-point basket. He remains at 88 in a row, one shy of the mark set by Dana Barrow from Dec. 23, 1994-Jan. 10, 1996, with Philadelphia and Boston. Korver was receiving treatment during the game, but the Hawks werent sure if hed be on a road trip to Washington and San Antonio. ... Dallas C-F Brandan Wright (fractured left shoulder) is getting closer to practicing. "Hopefully it doesnt flare up," Wright said before the game. "Well keep pushing it each and every day." ...
