(Source: Reuters)For defending champion Jimmy Walker, last year’s win at the PGA Championship marked a career high but also the beginning of an unexpected battle with Lyme disease, a chapter he hopes to close when he tees off at Quail Hollow on Thursday. His sports psychologist, Julie Elion, had a hunch the issue could be Lyme disease and encouraged Walker to get tested after other blood tests came back negative. While competing at the Masters in April, he got word that he had Lyme disease.
