The sentence seemed unthinkable at the beginning of the PGA Championship. Asked if a so-so third-round Saturday that cost him a legitimate shot at a third career major title was the ripple effect of all the chaos that came a day earlier, Scheffler offered a response that seemed absurd — except for the part where it also happened to be true. Scheffler played another one Sunday, a 6-under 65 that vaulted him into a tie for eighth and featured all the hallmarks of a vintage Scheffler performance: a couple of laser-guided approaches, a handful of birdie putts and the relentlessness that has become his trademark.
Xander Schauffele birdies the last hole to see off the challenge of Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland to win his first major title.
Schauffele birdied the par-5 18th at Valhalla to win his first major championship.
