American Collin Morikawa has won the US PGA Championship in sensational fashion after a thrilling final round in San Francisco.
Morikawa emerged from a seven-way tie for the lead in the closing stages at Harding Park by chipping in for a birdie on the 14th hole and then producing a stunning eagle on the 16th by driving the green on the 294-yard par four and holing from seven feet.
The 23-year-old carded a closing 64 – equalling the lowest round of the week – to finish 13 under par and two shots ahead of overnight leader Dustin Johnson and England’s Paul Casey, who barely put a foot wrong in pursuit of his first major title at the 64th attempt.
Jon Rahm’s share of 13th place was enough to take the Spaniard back to the top of the world rankings ahead of Justin Thomas, who finished in a tie for 37th.
Rory McIlroy (68) and Tiger Woods (67) both shot their best rounds of the week on Sunday to finish two and one under par respectively.
