Englishman Aaron Rai Wins The 108th PGA Championship

With the victory, Aaron Rai became the first Non-American to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy since Australian Jason Day in 2015.

Aaron Rai won the 108th PGA Championship Sunday.

The 31-year-old became the first Englishman to win the championship in over a century. His 70-foot birdie putt on hole 17 all but sealed his spot atop a highly competitive leaderboard.

Several major champions teed off during the final round but Rai’s eagle putt on the ninth hole set off a chain reaction, with several more birdies boosting him to a winning score of nine-under par.

With the victory, Rai also became the first Non-American to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy since Australian Jason Day in 2015, and the first European to find the winner’s circle at the PGA since Rory McIlory in 2014.
