Overview
- Kurt Kitayama shot a bogey-free 7-under 63 on Sunday at Aronimink Golf Club, tying the all-time lowest final round in a major.
- He credited a lights-out putter after holing 141 feet of putts and said the flatstick carried him through the round.
- The 63 was the championship’s best score by two shots and lifted him to 3-under 277 and a tie for seventh when he finished.
- He made seven birdies, starting with three in a row, turned in 30 on the front nine, and capped the day with a 13-foot birdie at 18.
- Only nine players since 1973 have shot 63 in a major’s final round, and he is just the second to do it in the PGA Championship, joining Brad Faxon in 1995.
