LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Xander Schauffele cashed in at just the right time Sunday, May 19, swirling in a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the PGA Championship, his first major title, with the lowest score in major-championship history.

The Olympic gold medalist got something even more valuable in silver—that enormous Wanamaker Trophy after a wild week at Valhalla.
