Scottie Scheffler wins PGA Championship for third major victory


Scottie Scheffler stepped up on the back nine Sunday to run away from the field and win the PGA Championship.

The world No. 1 went for birdies on holes 10, 14 and 15 to separate himself from the field and claim his third major championship.

Scheffler entered the final round with a three-shot lead at Quail Hollow and bounced back from three bogeys on the front nine to end the tournament five strokes ahead of runners-up Harris English, Davis Riley and Bryson DeChambeau.

It was shaping up to be a close finish between Scheffler and Jon Rahm, but the Spaniard ended his round with a bogey and two double-bogeys on his final three holes to fall back in the chase.

Canada’s Taylor Pendrith tied for fifth at 5 under.
