Xander Schauffele claims his first major win as he beats out Bryson DeChambeau by one shot for the PGA Championship trophy

A week after squandering a two-shot lead in the final round at the Wells Fargo, Schauffele took the same advantage onto the back nine at the Valhalla Golf Club, but this time would not fold, holding his nerve and claiming his maiden major title with a pressure packed six-foot putt.“I thought, oh, my gosh, this is not what I want for a winning putt.”“I don’t really remember it lipping in, I just heard everyone roaring and I just looked up to the sky in relief.
But despite his immense talent the 30-year-old had, until Sunday, been unable to close the deal at the majors, posting 12 top-10 results, including runner-up finishes at the Masters and British Open. Schauffele reached the turn clinging to a two-shot lead that vanished by the time he walked off the 10th green where his par putt lipped out shortly after Norway’s Viktor Hovland, playing two groups ahead, birdied the par-four 12th.
“All those close calls for me, even last week, that sort of feeling, it gets to you at some point,” said Schauffele. “Definitely a chip on the shoulder there.”
