According to Ronan Rafferty, Walton had the best handicap in the Republic of Ireland as an amateur. Walton attended Oklahoma State University in the United States and played for Great Britain & Ireland in the Walker Cup in 1981 and 1983.
Walton turned professional in 1983 and spent many years on the European Tour, making the top one hundred on the Order of Merit every year from 1983 to 1998, with a best ranking of thirteenth in 1995. He won three European Tour events and four Irish PGA Championships.
Walton has represented Ireland or Great Britain & Ireland on many occasions. He was a member of the winning Irish team at the 1990 Alfred Dunhill Cup. He made his only Ryder Cup appearance for Europe in 1995 at Oak Hill, where he beat Jay Haas on the final green of the crucial penultimate singles match.
Walton came through local qualifying to earn his place at the 2008 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, his first major since 1998.
