Walker played the short course in just 19 shots thanks to six birdies and one of the record nine holes-in-one.

He finished three shots clear of fellow Americans Keegan Bradley and Craig Stadler.

Eighty-year-old Gary Player became the oldest player to score an ace in the traditional event, which takes place the day before the first round of the year's opening Major.
