Who won the PGA championship? English golfer secures historic maiden title
Rai ‘proud to be first Englishman’ in over a century to lift Wanamaker Trophy
England’s Aaron Rai, aged 31, secured his maiden major title with a stunning victory at the PGA Championship held at Aronimink Golf Club.
Rai became the first English winner of the prestigious event in over a century, since 1919, ending a decade of American dominance in the championship.
The world number 44 from Wolverhampton delivered a sublime five-under 65 in the final round, ultimately finishing three shots clear of the competitive field.
His triumph earned him the Wanamaker Trophy and a substantial $3.69m (£2.76m) prize, marking the greatest moment of his career.
The dramatic final round saw Rai overcome a congested leaderboard, making a crucial eagle putt and an astounding 69-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to seal his historic win, with Jon Rahm finishing in second place.
