Overview
- Rai, who closed with a five-under 65 on Sunday, finished at 9-under 271 to win by three over Jon Rahm and Alex Smalley.
- A 68-foot birdie on the par-3 17th effectively sealed the title after an eagle at No. 9 jump-started his back-nine surge.
- The championship started the day with 22 players within four shots of the lead, a PGA record shaped by gusty early rounds on Donald Ross greens.
- Rai became the first English-born winner of the PGA Championship since Jim Barnes in 1919, ending a run of 10 straight American champions.
- The victory secures a five-year PGA Tour exemption, entries into the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship, and a $3.69 million winner's share from a $20.5 million purse.
