Aaron Rai (-9) produced a brilliant final-round 65 to capture the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, securing his first major title. His composed -5 finish on Sunday lifted him three shots clear of the field, capping off a week of precision and consistency.

Jon Rahm (-6) and Alex Smalley (-6) shared second place, with Rahm adding a solid -2 and Smalley holding steady at even par. Ludvig Åberg (-5), Justin Thomas (-5), and Matti Schmid (-5) tied for fourth, each delivering strong but insufficient closing rounds to challenge Rai’s surge.

Further down, Cameron Smith (-4), Xander Schauffele (-4), and Rory McIlroy (-4) finished tied for seventh, while Kurt Kitayama (-3) impressed with a final-round 65 to climb into the top ten alongside Patrick Reed (-3), Chris Gotterup (-3), and Justin Rose (-3).

Rai’s victory was defined by composure under pressure and sharp ball-striking, turning a tightly packed leaderboard into a decisive triumph. With Rahm, Smalley, and Åberg pressing close, the final day delivered drama, but Rai’s brilliance ensured his name will be etched on the Wanamaker Trophy.
