Xander Schauffele secured a maiden major victory after creating golfing history with a dramatic one-shot win at the PGA Championship. Schauffele took a share of the lead with Collin Morikawa into the final day at Valhalla and found himself two strokes ahead heading into the back-nine, only for Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland to jump into contention.
DeChambeau's playing partner Hovland rolled in from 20 feet at the seventh for a third consecutive birdie to also close on Schauffele, who birdied the par-five seventh and added a 10-foot birdie at the ninth to reach the turn two ahead. Hovland and DeChambeau both followed front-nine 32s with birdies at the par-five 10th, where Schauffele took two attempts out of the rough and missed a five-footer for bogey to drop back to 18 under.
