Scottie Scheffler seized control of the PGA Championship on Sunday, closing out a dominant performance at Quail Hollow Club. He shot an even‑par 71 in the final round and finished five strokes ahead of a trio of challengers—Bryson DeChambeau, Davis Riley, and Harris English—posting a winning score that marked his third major at age 28.
Scheffler’s Path to the Wanamaker Trophy
Scheffler entered the final day with a four‑shot lead. Early struggles—bogeys on Nos. 1 and 6—briefly threatened his momentum. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm surged with birdies on 8, 10, and 11 to tie the lead at 9 under. But Scheffler answered decisively:
- Front Nine Recovery: Scheffler straightened his driver and rolled in a birdie on No. 10 to reclaim the lead.
- Back Nine Mastery: On the pivotal 14th, he escaped a greenside bunker and sank the up‑and‑down for birdie. He matched that resolve on the drivable par‑5 15th, chipping close and converting the short putt.
- Closing Stretch: While Rahm double‑bogeyed 17 and bogeyed 18, Scheffler cruised home, never dropping a shot after No. 10.
By the time Scheffler reached the 16th tee, he led by five and could simply par out to victory. His final margin of five strokes was his largest in any PGA Tour event since turning pro.

Historic Milestones and Career Grand Slam Quest
This win gives Scheffler his first major outside Augusta, adding to Masters victories in 2022 and 2024. He becomes only the third player since World War II—alongside Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods—to claim three majors and 15 PGA Tour titles before turning 29.
With the Masters and PGA in the bag, Scheffler has now completed the second leg of the career grand slam. The U.S. Open and The Open remain on his checklist of golf’s four majors. His flawless timing and killer instinct were on full display, as he found answers to every question Quail Hollow presented.

Chasing Pack: Poston, DeChambeau, and English
Behind Scheffler, J.T. Poston surged into solo second with an even‑par 71. Bryson DeChambeau, battling length and less‑consistent iron play, finished tied for third along with Davis Riley and Harris English. Rahm, after his brief co‑lead, unraveled on the Green Mile:
- No. 16: Bogey.
- No. 17: Tee shot in the water, double bogey.
- No. 18: Double bogey, dropping him out of the top five.
Scheffler’s steadiness contrasted sharply with Rahm’s collapse and DeChambeau’s inconsistent weekend.
