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.
That was good enough for a one-stroke victory over fellow American DeChambeau, the 2020 US Open champion who fired a closing 64, with Norway's Hovland, last year's PGA runner-up, third on 266 after shooting a 66.The record low under-par winning score had been 20-under, done four times, most recently by Australian Cameron Smith at the 2022 British Open.
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. Seconds later, Hovland missed his 10-foot birdie putt to doom his chances and ended up making a bogey.
