Overview
- Rai, who closed with a 65 on Sunday, finished at 9-under to lift the Wanamaker Trophy at Aronimink near Philadelphia.
- A long birdie putt of about 20 meters on the 17th hole effectively sealed the win.
- Jon Rahm finished three shots back in second, his best PGA Championship result, after a third-round 67 moved him into contention.
- Only about 20 of 156 players finished under par as wind and tough flag placements drew repeated criticism on the par-70 Aronimink course.
- The triumph brings Rai about $3.7 million and his first major title after earlier wins on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour.
