Scottie Scheffler handcuffed by police as PGA Championship descends into chaos in second round delay
The world no.3 held off a final-round charge from Bryson DeChambeau to finally claim the first major victory of his career at Valhalla Golf Club.LIV Golf star DeChambeau shot a stunning 64, including a birdie at the last, to leave Schauffele needing a four on the par-five 18th to avoid a play-off.
Schauffele finished on 21-under par, which is the lowest score to par in major championship history, breaking the previous record of 20-under par set by Jason Day at the 2015 PGA Championship. Schauffele said: "I was kind of emotional after the putt lipped in. It's been a while since I've won and I kept saying all week I needed to stay in my lane. Man was it hard to do that today. I tried all day to keep focussed on what I needed to do and keep every hole ahead of me.
