The PGA Championship offered a record $18.5 million purse this year in Louisville.
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 outdueled Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland down the back nine on Sunday to win the PGA Championship, capturing his first major triumph and snapping a two-year victory drought.But the 30-year-old American matched the lowest round in major history with a nine-under 62 on Thursday and was equal to the challenge on Sunday.
Xander Schauffele birdies the last hole to see off the challenge of Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland to win his first major title.
