(Reuters) - The prospect of winning his home tournament at this week's Texas Open in San Antonio is tantalizing for Jimmy Walker but the American says he feels no extra pressure as he bids to claim a fifth PGA Tour title.

Though the San Antonio resident conceded that he faced "a juggling act" with all sorts of personal requests from friends and family this week, he treated the tournament itself as just another very difficult challenge on the U.S. circuit.
