Schauffele wins PGA Championship, his first major, with a record

With a two-meter putt that resulted in a birdie on the last hole, American Xander Schauffele won the PGA Championship, his first major, and he did it in style: with the lowest score (-21) in the history of the Grand Slam championships.
That putt at Valhalla denied compatriot Bryson DeChambeau the chance at another major title and put Schauffele in the record books.
Schauffele, 30, who has eight PGA Tour victories, sealed his win with a six-under-par 65 to win by one stroke over DeChambeau, who kept up the tension until the end with a birdie from 10 feet on the 18th hole for a 64.
Schauffele became the first player since Phil Mickelson in 2005 to win the PGA Championship with a birdie on the last hole.
Viktor Hovland, FedEx Cup champion, also had a chance to make birdie with a three-meter putt to tie DeChambeau, but the Norwegian missed it and then missed again with the putter and his 66 strokes relegated him to third place.
Schauffele, who began the tournament with a 62 card to tie the Grand Slam Championship record, finished at 21 under par, 263 strokes, with his winning birdie. With that result he surpassed by one the Grand Slam record previously shared by Brooks Koepka at the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive and Henrik Stenson at the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon.
His victory carried with it a $3.3 million prize purse.
Reigning Masters champion and world number one Scottie Scheffler, bogeyed Friday morning, was out of contention with a 73 on Saturday and closed Sunday with a 65 to tie for eighth place.
