Aaron Rai just drained a super long birdie putt from the other side of the green on 17. That extends his lead to 4 shots and effectively seals the PGA Championship win for him. It's a fitting end to a tournament defined by difficult, tucked pins and lag-putting.

Aaron Rai from a proud working class family in Wolverhampton is about to become a major winner by winning the PGA. He’s been magnificent all week and superb today.

I’m sure Aaron Rai is a perfectly fine lad but my oh my is he spoiling an amazing leaderboard and the discourse about the course will be less than complimentary

This performance by Aaron Rai is one of the most incredible performances I have ever seen on the back 9 of the final round of a major by a guy who has never really even sniffed a major title.

Big thanks to Rai going nuts on Sunday to make my -14 prediction look somewhat reasonable. I don't care what the players thought, Aronimink ruled. Nobody wanted this, so Aaron Rai went and got it. Good for him. I had none (I gave him a hard look Wednesday but couldn't get there) but happy for him.
