The 31-year-old from Wolverhampton, currently ranked 44th in the world, displayed remarkable composure in a tightly contested finale, finishing with a score of nine under par to secure victory.
Historic Achievement
Rai's triumph marks the first time an Englishman has won the PGA Championship in 107 years, emulating the feat of Jim Barnes, who won in 1919. He overcame stiff competition from Matthias Schmid, Justin Thomas, and Jon Rahm to claim his first major title.
Final Round Drama
The final round at the challenging Philadelphia course saw Rai hold his nerve as rivals faltered. Rory McIlroy, who finished at four under par, was unable to mount a late challenge to threaten the lead.
