Until Sunday, Xander Schauffele was known for two things — not showing much emotion on the golf course and that he was, likely, the best current player to have never won a major. He shed both those titles when he won the PGA Championship. (@adam_stanley) https://t.co/b6KPqpMdeQ

Major drama down the stretch before an exciting finish when birdie putt on 18th hole circles cup and drops for 1-stroke win. @XSchauffele’s 21 under for 72 holes is lowest winning score in a major. https://t.co/6qoh6UaUgn

Getting emotional watching Xander Schauffele throw his arms in the air as he birdies on 18 to win it. Knowing how long this accomplishment took him, with everyone cheering him on. Like when you watch the Olympics. Ironically, Schauffele is the defending gold medallist.
What a finish - congratulations to Xander Schauffele, shot 65 on a Sunday and made the putt he needed on the last. Classy by DeChambeau at the end. Unforgettable #PGA, for all sorts of reasons, not all of them good. But in the end, X was great.
