ESPN is reporting on the winners and losers of this year’s PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky:
“Two of the year’s four majors are now complete, and the latest provided us with a thrilling Sunday that resulted in one player winning his first major championship while several others fell just short of the feat.
“Xander Schauffele was not the only one who could take something away from Valhalla this week, though plenty others are leaving the 2024 PGA Championship with a bad taste in their mouths.
“… Over 18 holes on Sunday, Schauffele flipped the script that had dogged him throughout his career — that he couldn’t close when it mattered most.
“After going 2-for-8 while holding a 54-hole lead in his PGA Tour career before the final round Sunday, Schauffele carded a 6-under 65 to finish with a 72-hole total of 21 under.
“The 30-year-old won his first major championship in his 28th start and completely changed the trajectory of his career from a player who couldn’t win one of the big four to a major championship winner who is playing the best golf of his life.
“He looked different under pressure on Sunday, not letting a couple of bad breaks from the tee affect him on the final two holes — and he made the biggest putt of his career on the 72nd.”
