Xander Schauffele Secures First Major Victory with Birdie on Last Hole at PGA Championship

Xander Schauffele made history on Sunday by winning the PGA Championship with the lowest score in major championship history. The Olympic gold medallist clinched his first major victory with a six-foot birdie putt on the final hole at Valhalla, finishing at 21-under 263.

Schauffele’s final round of 65 was enough to edge out Bryson DeChambeau, who also put on a show with a 64. The two Americans battled it out until the very end, with Schauffele ultimately coming out on top with a birdie on the 18th hole.

The 30-year-old had to overcome challenges throughout the round, including mud on his golf ball and tricky bunker shots. But Schauffele remained focused and determined, delivering a clutch performance when it mattered most.

“I told myself this is my opportunity — capture it,” Schauffele said after sinking the winning putt.

DeChambeau, who finished in second place, praised Schauffele for his exceptional play, acknowledging that his own efforts fell short against such a strong competitor.

Canadian golfer Corey Conners also had a solid showing, finishing tied for 26th at 9 under. Overall, it was a thrilling and memorable week at Valhalla, with Schauffele etching his name in the record books with a well-deserved victory.

Schauffele’s win marks a significant milestone in his career and solidifies his status as a top contender in the world of golf. As he celebrates his first major triumph, fans can expect to see more great performances from this talented player in the future.
