After enduring the bad side of the draw for two days and a frustrating Saturday 74, Justin Thomas improbably won the 104th PGA Championship on Sunday.
Thomas defeated Will Zalatoris in a three-hole aggregate playoff at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thomas played the additional stanza in 2 under par, compared to Zalatoris in 1 under.
This is Thomas’ second major victory and his second PGA triumph, having also prevailed at Kiawah Island in 2017.
Five years ago, Thomas had to overcome a two-stroke deficit through 54 holes. This time, it was seven.
