Sheboygan, WI—The tagline “best player never to have won a major” is a moniker few professional golfers wish to have associated with them for any bit of time. For Jason Day, the supremely talented Australian golfer, that association is now the burden of others as he garnered the first of what could be more majors to come in winning the 97th PGA Championship at The Straits Course at Whistling Straits.
Day started the final round in unfamiliar territory—with the lead going into the final round of a major. That two-shot margin would necessitate nothing less than stellar play in order to lay claim to the famed Wannamaker Trophy. The 27-year-old Aussie did that and much more as he fired a 4th round five-under-par 67 good for a 268 total and three shot winning margin.
The runner-up is a name who has cemented itself into the minds of golf fans globally—Jordan Spieth.
