Schauffele’s six-foot birdie on 18 beats Bryson DeChambeau by one shot
Xander Schauffele celebrates after winning the PGA Championship golf tournament at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. on May 19.Xander Schauffele cashed in at just the right time Sunday, swirling in a six-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the PGA Championship for his first major with the lowest score in major championship history.
Schauffele became the first player since Phil Mickelson in 2005 at Baltusrol to win the PGA Championship with a birdie on the last hole to win by one. And this took all he had. DeChambeau was on the range, staying loose for a potential playoff, watching Schauffele from a large video board. He saw the winning putt fall, and walked all the way back to the 18th to join in with so many other players wanting to congratulate the 30-year-old.
Schauffele, who began this championship with a 62 to tie the major championship record, finished at 21-under 263 with that winning birdie. That beats by one shot the major record previously shared by Brooks Koepka in the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive and Henrik Stenson in the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon.
Two players – Schauffele on Thursday and Shane Lowry on Saturday – tied the major record with a 62. Scoring records seemed to fall just about every day on a rain-softened course.“I really didn’t want to go into a playoff with Bryson,” he said.
