Entering Sunday's final round, the top six players included Mito Pereira — who entered Sunday with a three-shot lead — Matthew Fitzpatrick, Will Zalatoris, ...

By the end, once he birdied Nos. 13, 14 and 18, he had rebuilt that lead to three. He played the four dwarves in bogey, par, par and par, even if he did miss a six-footer on No. 6 that left him half-crumpled in disbelief. It’s another nadir in his newfound role as ignoble recluse who has missed both the Masters and the PGA in firestorm avoidance. Way back at the 2002 PGA Championship near Minneapolis, Rich Beem became that occasional feel-good force that makes golf and humanity so mysterious. McIlroy birdied holes 2 through 5, giving fans in Tulsa and elsewhere a reminder that he finished a surprising second at Augusta after starting the final round of the Masters 10 shots off the lead. That still left Spieth a solid eagle look and what appeared to be an excellent chance at a birdie. Ultimately, though, he had to settle for a par and a reminder that Spieth occasionally struggles on the greens. Showing just how drivable No. 17 is, given its relatively short distance with Sunday’s forward tee box placement, Spieth shaped his drive perfectly for the left-to-right hole and ran his ball onto the green. - Tulsa’s Southern Hills is hosting the PGA Championship for a record fifth time. Paramount Plus is streaming the CBS telecast. Entering Sunday’s final round, the top six players included Mito Pereira — who entered Sunday with a three-shot lead — Matthew Fitzpatrick, Will Zalatoris, Cameron Young, Abraham Ancer and Seamus Power. Four of them are in their 20s, and none has won a major. So did Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Cantlay, the No. 1 and No. 5 players in the world.

The Chilean will play with Matt Fitzpatrick, who like Pereira is also seeking to make the 2022 PGA Championship his first PGA Tour title. Of course, Fitzpatrick ...

Cameron Young made eagle on the 17th hole, which has him four back of Mito Pereira and in the penultimate group. For Zalatoris, it's also a second birdie of the day as he regains a share of the lead. 4:59 p.m.: If you thought Pereira's up and down at nine was good, he may have just pulled off the up and down of his life at the 10th. Speaking of escaping with no damage, Cameron Young gets up and down from inside the penaltry area on No. 7 to remain at six under. In the groups ahead, Zalatoris and Young found the fairway at No. 15 and Thomas is in a greenside bunker at 16. 5:01 p.m.: Zalatoris' drive at 12 misses miles to the left and somehow stays out of a creek, but all he could do was chip it back out into the fairway. He made par at 13 and just found the green at the par-3 14th. His relationship with the lead would have been brief anyway, as Pereira two-putted for birdie back at the 13th to reach seven under. Mito just RIPPED a low draw at the par-3 14th that scurried about 20 yards past the green and almost on to the next tee. 6:22 p.m.: From the greenside bunker on 17, Zalatoris gets up and down for birdie to get to five under, tied for the clubhouse lead. 5:58 p.m.: Someone cue the undertaker GIF for Matt Fitzpatrick. The Englishman just chipped in for birdie at the 15th, getting him back to four under. Young also gets up and down from over the green for birdie to get to four under.

TULSA, Okla. -- If there is no winner after 72 holes at the PGA Championship, a three-hole aggregate score playoff will be used to determine a champion.

Those three holes are convenient to players and fans, as the 13th tee is near the 18th green. Competitors will play all three holes and the low total score wins. At Southern Hills, the three playoff holes are the reachable par-5 13th, par-4 17th and tough par-4 18th.

Join Scott Murray for reaction after Justin Thomas defeated Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff to win his second PGA Championship.

From the 17th tee, Will Zalatoris sends a power fade into the bunker to the right of the green. Meanwhile up on 18, Will Zalatoris finds the fairway with his drive, but he’s tight on the right-hand side and will probably have to shape something around the tree that overhangs that part of the hole. Pereira mishits his second into 16 and leaves himself well short of the green ... then overcooks his chip, leaving himself a 12-footer for par coming back. Mito Pereira meanwhile batters a drive that disappears down a swale to the left of the green. He taps in for par, and for all the drama, is still a shot clear. Down the bank and into the drink it goes. Zalatoris takes 6-iron from the middle of the fairway and draws one into the heart of the green. But these things happen down the stretch on Sunday. Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris will contest a three-hole aggregate play-off. His ball bounces through the green and into the thick cabbage behind. A tap-in, and Justin Thomas is the winner of the 2022 PGA Championship! He gives it a good run, but it always kinks off to the left. He whips his approach into the green, but the ball rolls back and threatens to topple off the front.

That makes Sunday's final round all the more interesting as Mito Pereira tries to hold his three-stroke lead entering the day with Will Zalatoris and Matthew Fitzpatrick his closest competitors trying to make a run.

Justin Thomas produced a dramatic final-round fightback to take advantage of a final-hole collapse by Mito Pereira and defeat Will Zalatoris in a play-off ...

Zalatoris recovered from bogeying the 16th to birdie the next and hole an eight-footer to save par at the last, leaving him alongside Thomas, with the pair unexpectedly in a play-off when Pereira found water off the final tee on his way to a double-bogey six. Pereira bogeyed the 14th and failed to convert from 10 feet at the next, where Fitzpatrick chipped in from the rough to get within two, while Thomas bounced back from missed birdie opportunities at the 13th and 15th to make one at the 17th to join the group in tied-second. Fitzpatrick made a close-range birdie at the fourth but failed to take advantage at the par-three next, where Pereira picked up a shot to move two ahead, while Zalatoris produced a remarkable up and down from the cart path to scramble a bogey at the sixth after hitting his tee shot into bushes.

Thomas, also the 2017 PGA winner, was seven shots down to start Sunday and shot 67 to make the playoff after 54-hole leader Mito Pereira stumbled to 75.

After a penalty drop, his 190-yard third shot sailed left of the green, then a chip shot ran through the green and two shots later he had a crushing double-bogey 6 to miss the playoff. Thomas hit his drive in the right rough and laid up with his second shot, but wedged it close and made the putt. Zalatoris was on the green in two and two-putted for his birdie. Thomas pulled ahead by one shot for good on the second playoff hole, the drivable 302-yard par-4 17th. "I guess you have so much pressure in your body, you don't even know what you're doing. I was asked early in the week what lead is safe, I said 'no lead.' I just stayed patient and found myself in a playoff."

Thomas, who entered the final round seven shots behind the leader, beat Will Zalatoris in a playoff to win his second career major championship.

“I was very calm in the playoff and very calm in the final holes before the playoff, which helped a lot,” Thomas said. He also sank a 10-foot putt to save par at the final hole to shoot 71 for the final round and finish at five under par overall. He was tied for eighth at the 2021 P.G.A. Championship and tied for sixth at the 2020 U.S. Open. His birdie putt skidded past the hole, and Zalatoris tapped in for par. Thomas and Zalatoris began the playoff with birdies on the first hole, the 13th. Thomas missed consecutive manageable birdie putts at the 13th and 14th holes, but then splashed a shot from a greenside bunker at the par-4 17th hole to within 3 feet, a distance he successfully negotiated for his fifth birdie of the day. “It’s such a stressful situation,” Pereira said of the atmosphere on the 18th tee. Pereira, the third-round leader, had appeared poised to become the first golfer from Chile to win a major golf championship. After a penalty shot drop from the water, Pereira’s approach shot found the thick rough alongside the green. “It was a bizarre day, no doubt,” Thomas, who also won the 2017 P.G.A. Championship, said. Then the focus of the tournament shifted to Tiger Woods, 46, who arrived at the Southern Hills Country Club to resume his stirring comeback from injuries he sustained in a horrific car crash 15 months ago. His final-round rally tied for the third-largest comeback in major championship history.

Thomas has now won two of the last six PGA Championships for his pair of major titles.

- Hole 3 (par-4 18th): Both men made it on the green in two, though Zalatoris' approach slid down a ridge to put him further from the hole. - Hole 2 (par-4 17th): Thomas drove the green off the tee in spectacular fashion, while Zalatoris attempted the same only to fortunately land just feet from a greenside bunker. Zalatoris looked to have bested J.T. by making it on the green in two but was forced to tap in for birdie after a long eagle putt slid wide left. He eventually finished with a double bogey, not only giving away his potential victory but opening the door for Thomas and Zalatoris to compete in a playoff for the Wanamaker. The tournament was surprise 54-hole leader Mito Pereira's to lose on Sunday as the 27-year-old Chilean opened the day with a three-stroke advantage on the field and either shared the lead or held it outright for every hole but his last. Thomas began his day at 2 under and roared back with a 3-under 67 in Round 4 that included a bogey-free 3-under 32 on the back nine.

Just a lot of just grind.” Rahm and Morikawa finally attacked the course when it was far too late. He closed with a 68 that could have been a lot lower. Second-ranked Jon Rahm and third-ranked Collin Morikawa barely made the weekend and started Sunday’s final round at the back of the pack. He closed with a 4-over 74. He won the RBC Heritage last year at age 47.

Tiger Woods, who limped to a nine-over par 79 in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship, has withdrawn from the event, the tournament announced.

Tiger Woods, who limped to a nine-over par 79 in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship, has withdrawn from the event, the tournament announced.

Whoever is at the top of the leaderboard at Southern Hills by the end of the tournament will take home a major title and quite a bit of cash.

Any ties in the standings will be split evenly among tied golfers. Phil Mickelson took home the $2.16 million top prize in 2021. For comparison, this year's Masters was a record $15 million purse.

Justin Thomas won the 2022 PGA Championship on Sunday, the second major of his career, after a dramatic playoff.

Once again, he shot a brilliant three-under 67 to put himself into contention at five-under for the tournament. However, disaster struck for Pereira on the last hole. It was funny I was asked earlier in the week about what lead is safe and I said 'no lead' because this place is so tough. Zalatoris could only manage a par. "This place is so tough. The 29-year-old finished his round a shot behind then-leader Mito Pereira, but after the Chilean hit his drive on the 18th hole into the water and finished with a double bogey, the major went to a playoff between the two compatriots.

On the second of the three-hole aggregate playoff, he hit 3-wood to 35 feet for a two-putt birdie. Will Zalatoris missed the green to the right and failed to ...

Cameron Smith banked $3.6 million (out of a $20 million purse) for his victory at The Players Championship last year. He settled for a $870,000 third-place prize alongside Cameron Young. While Thomas collected a substantial sum in his own right, players who finished inside the top 23 collected a six-figure payday, thus easing the pain of defeat.

“If I keep putting myself in tie for the lead or one back with nine holes to play, one of those times I’m going to shoot 5-under on the back, and that’s going to be good enough. But to contend in a major, you have a lot of positives to take away — and he will after he gets done being mad for a few hours. Cameron Young described the end result of the day “pretty disappointing,’’ adding, “I’ve been close a few times, and I’ve had some bad Sundays. This was just another one. As much as Young would root for Zalatoris, it had to hurt just a little bit more that it was his teammate in that playoff and not himself. That’s where he left his approach shot in the right bunker and three-putted to tumble to 3-under par, three shots behind Pereira’s lead. The dream was so close to coming true he could almost touch and taste it.

It's one thing to lose a major championship late and quite another to do so as a significant underdog.

Then, I thought I was nervous on the third day. Then, I thought I was nervous the second day. "I thought I was nervous the first day. All week, a quote from Padraig Harrington at the 2021 PGA Championship has been stuck in my head when trying to contextualize the struggles of Rory McIlroy in major championships. He was never supposed to be in this position. He was also a participant in the seven-man bronze medalist playoff at the 2020 Olympic Games. I thought I was going to win on 18, but it is what it is. As his peers' chances dwindled under the pressure of playing for a major championship, Pereira made one clutch par save after another. Not at Southern Hills where Hall of Famers like Tiger Woods, Raymond Floyd and Hubert Green were victorious in the past. The 27-year-old was a Battlefield Promotion from the Korn Ferry Tour last summer, which is no easy feat. "Obviously sad to be here and not in the playoff, not make par, just straight win. I just wanted to put it in play, and I guess I aimed too far right.

PGA Championship 2022 champion Justin Thomas says he knew his rivals had to be "nervous" as he pulled off a stunning final-round comeback to claim his ...

"And it just proved for Mito to be too much on the day. "I just played it through, and actually had a one-shot lead on 18 and that was pretty good. It's a huge thing to take on board. For him to play the back nine at three under par with no mistakes, and then go three holes with Will Zalatoris and earn his second PGA Championship, fantastic for Justin Thomas. I thought I was going to win on 18, but it is what it is. I didn't hit it in the fairway enough. "I tried to handle it a little bit, but it's really tough. I made too many mistakes on the simple things. I've come up one short and it stings, but we're going to get one soon." "Today I was really nervous," Pereira said after having to settle for tied-third. "I hit a great putt [in the play-off] on 17, we just under-read it. I didn't have my best stuff yesterday, which obviously turns out to be the difference.

TULSA, Okla. – Justin Thomas calculated the yardage for his approach shot on Southern Hills' par-4 seventh in Sunday's final round of the PGA Championship ...

A two-putt birdie was enough for Thomas to lead when Zalatoris failed to get up-and-down before the pair traded pars on the final hole. The three-hole aggregate playoff between Thomas and Zalatoris began with both making birdie on the opening par-5 before they returned to the drivable 17th. Needing par to win his first TOUR event, he sadly sliced his tee shot into the water, failed to reach the green after a penalty and couldn’t even muster bogey to join the playoff. But he refused to give in and birdied the drivable par-4 17th by getting close from a greenside bunker before setting up a 10-foot birdie try on the last after two great shots. Zalatoris was as deep as 8 under early in the round but bogeys on Nos. 6, 7, 12 and 16 seemed to have cruelled his hopes. “We were remarking at the time it was his best full swing of the week and he hit it to 10 feet from 197 yards.” “Anything can happen in golf and Justin is a resilient guy and when he needs to play offense. Thomas recovered from the embarrassment to string together five birdies in his closing 10 holes to shoot 3-under 67, good enough to get in a playoff with Will Zalatoris that Thomas won with birdies on the first two holes. “Bones said some things that I wanted to say but I know as a father if I had of said them, he’d have been like, “You’re stroking my ego,” but Bones said them and it hit home for him,” said Mike Thomas. “It was a really good message. Suddenly the eight-shot gap was halved to four. The talk was music to Mike Thomas’ ears. In the end, it was just one of countless amazing moments in a crazy final round.

Of course Tiger Woods had to give Justin Thomas a Twitter shout out after his big win at Southern Hills.

“I don't know, I'm sure he probably will give me a hard time for shanking it [off the tee on No. 6],” Thomas said. But I think just being there as a friend is most important as a mentor, but, yeah, kind of pushing each other along the way type thing." Woods has described Thomas as the little brother he never had.

Thomas added a second Wanamaker Trophy to the one he captured in 2017 at Quail Hollow in the first playoff at the PGA Championship since 2011, when Keegan ...

He made double bogey to miss the playoff by a shot alongside Cameron Young. He shot 74 on Saturday to go backward, but he made a back-nine charge on Sunday and birdied the 17th. He closed with a 67 and finished at 5-under 275 over 72 holes.

Justin Thomas capped a breathtaking comeback by beating Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff to win the PGA Championship on Sunday after Chile's Mito ...

The rattled Chilean would take a double-bogey, leaving Thomas and Zalatoris to fight for the trophy. But he had no response after his tee shot on 18, finishing with a five-over 75 and tied for third with Young. Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood and Chris Kirk were a shot further back on three-under 277. But the world number nine would drop only one shot the rest of the way while ringing up five birdies for a three under-67. It was a second major victory for Thomas, who also won the PGA Championship in 2017. Thomas's rally from seven shots back was the largest final-round comeback at the PGA Championship and it certainly impressed his good friend Tiger Woods, who also knows something about comebacks. It's not fun.

Thomas added a second Wanamaker Trophy to the one he captured in 2017 at Quail Hollow.

His hopes ended on he 16th went he found a bunker right of the green, blasted out weakly to 30 feet and three-putted for a double bogey. Thomas nearly holed a long bunker shot on the 16th, made birdie from a left bunker on the reachable 17th and had a 10-foot birdie putt he thought he needed at the end. In eight majors at Southern Hills, it was first time a player rallied from any margin to win, and it was only the second playoff. Rory McIlroy made a brief run with four straight birdies on the front nine, putting him at 4-under par for the tournament. Matt Fitzpatrick of England, who played in the final group with Pereira, also stayed in range, two shots behind until his sloppy bogey on the 17th. After a penalty drop, his approach up the hill started left and never cut back, landing in the rough. Zalatoris looked like he had thrown away his chances for a first major — and first PGA Tour victory — when he three-putted from just outside 20 feet on the 16th hole. It started with a 65-foot birdie putt from just short of the green to a back pin on the par-3 11th. He edged closer with an 18-foot birdie on the next hole. He also won in a playoff over Tom Watson and Jerry Pate. He closed with a 3-under 67, matching the low score of a final round made difficult more by nerves than the wind. "I was asked early in the week what lead is safe and I said, 'No lead,'" Thomas said.

Five talking points from the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, featuring Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and controversy surrounding the ...

He's such a proud player that he doesn't want to come back and just be a ceremonial golfer. None of three Europeans would make the cut. "We don't want to see that either. While there was no doubt that the Thursday-Friday group made up of Tiger Woods, McIlroy and Jordan Spieth was the most eye-catching, the group the winner appeared most likely to come from was the one made up of the world's top three ranked players. As was the case at The Masters last month, a final-round fightback followed, but it was too little, too late once more, and only adds credence to suggestions that - at this stage of his career - McIlroy can only summon his best golf at majors when the pressure is off. However, the theory that all McIlroy needed to do was get off to a better start in a major was swiftly proven wrong as he proceeded to play himself out of contention over the second and third rounds.

A pep talk from his caddy made all the difference for Justin Thomas as he collected his second major title after staging an incredible comeback to win the ...

"You don't have to be perfect. You're in contention every single week we're playing.'" "I felt like I'd played terrible.

TULSA, Okla. -- The major championship season is halfway over, which is both stunning and also sad. After a terrific Masters in April, the PGA Championship ...

He insinuated that that reality is what pulled the emotion out of him on the 18th green on Sunday, and Homa summed it up well when he said, "It's crazy when you think about how hard it must be to win majors if that kid can't rack 'em up." It's taxing when somebody is shooting their one career shot and taking the chances that reflect that, and you're expected to not only hold off the rest of the field but run down that player as well. I didn't play during his prime, but from the times I've been out here and him winning the Masters in 2019 and winning the Tour Championship, him making the cut these last two tournaments for ... some of the conditions he was in last year, it's absurd. One thing neither of us considered enough, however, is how Thomas was going against, as one person on Twitter put it, a Korn Ferry All-Star team on Sunday. That group of golfers was just not equipped with the right equipment to survive when oxygen levels plummet late on major Sundays. The problem with that is that I think he actually might be 100% or at least his version of it. The Chilean had a 13-foot putt on No. 17 to take a two-stroke lead to the final hole of a major championship. In the span of 10 minutes, he went from probably winning the golf tournament to not even making a playoff. 3. Rory's remorse: Rory McIlroy shot 65 on Thursday. If he played the last three days in even par, he would have been in a playoff with Thomas and Zalatoris. Hell, he got it all the way to 4 under through his first five holes on Sunday, so if he plays the last 13 holes in 1 under, he's also in the playoff. McIlroy skipped media after both Saturday and Sunday, and when I asked how he was feeling compared to the elation of his final-round 64 at Augusta National, he offered a one-word summation: "Dejection." What sunk him for the week? Bones has seen and done it all at the highest level with one of the 15 best players ever for a quarter of a century. It was about to erupt for J.T.'s second major win, and just behind him, the marshals would lose contain on a crowd desperate for something special trying to get as close as it feasibly could. That indefinable thing that seems to be the difference between good Tour pros and great historical champions.

The Sheffield star would have won the tournament at Southern Hills with a level-par final round.

But for me to come away from the week to miss the playoff by two shots hurts a hell of a lot.” Wasn't a good day, and yeah, just disappointing knowing that you're two shots outside of a playoff and you feel like you've got the game, well, to make the playoff and go on to win. Matt Fitzpatrick was left to wonder what might have been after posting a 3-over-par final round at the PGA Championship to finish two shots adrift of a playoff.

A Cardinal golfer won the individual title for a second straight year; Zhang shot 75 in the final round to win by two shots.

She pulled within three shots after Zhang three-putted for bogey on the par-4 10th to drop to 6 under. She had a birdie on the short par-4 2nd hole, but took a double bogey after her tee shot plugged in the greenside bunker on the par-3 5th. Zhang righted herself with a short birdie on the par-3 13th and pushed the lead back to five when Park three-putted for bogey. Zhang finished at 6-under 282 to become the 10th freshman to win a national individual title. She also represented the United States in the 2021 Curtis Cup and broke the amateur record in the LPGA Tour major then known as the ANA Inspiration in 2020. A third-round 69 put her seven shots ahead of Oregon’s Tze-Han Lin and Georgia’s Jenny Bae.

Stanford freshman phenom Rose Zhang proved worthy of her No. 1 ranking by winning the individual title at the 2022 NCAA Championship.

“I felt like that really helped me kind of ease into my mindset of, ‘Okay, now that I have a birdie under my belt, I can keep on going and keep on playing and keep on grinding.’ I knew that I had it in me to hit a good shot when the time came. I knew I had it in me to make a putt, and that’s really what helped me carry myself throughout the rest of the round.” Zhang made an early birdie on her second hole before an uncharacteristic double bogey on No. 5 and a bogey on No. 9 to make the turn at 2 over. “She really grinded today, it was really cool to see because it wasn’t an easy day,” said Stanford head coach Anne Walker. “It’s never easy to close a big one. Heck and Zhang are the only two Stanford women to win the individual national championship, and each did so as freshmen. Just being able to have that connection with her, I feel like it’s just so, so special.

"I knew it was in me to hit a good shot when the time came.'' She pulled within three shots after Zhang three-putted for bogey on the par-4 10th to drop to 6 under. Zhang was already committed to Stanford last year when she watched on TV as Heck won the national title as a freshman. Zhang righted herself with a short birdie on the par-3 13th and pushed the lead back to five when Park three-putted for bogey. She finished at 6-under 282 to become the 10th freshman to win a national individual title. She didn't hit it the way she wanted and was out of position quite a bit.

Rose Zhang became the second straight Stanford freshman to win the NCAA individual championship, capping a memorable season with a fourth title.

It was just a brutal grind, but I’m here now.” It was that combined with an impressive amateur record that predated the NCAA championships. “It was definitely a little frustrating that I didn’t hit where I wanted to on a couple areas on the golf course,” she said, this a day before her 19th birthday. But just being here now, knowing that I grinded through with my C game, I’m just thankful to be here.” It was more than the lead Zhang took into the fourth round that made victory inevitable. Already No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, Zhang added an NCAA championship to a resume that also includes victories in the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2020, a U.S. Girls Junior title in 2021, three previous wins at Stanford, in her first three college starts, followed by a victory in the Sprint International Amateur. She has finished in the top 10 in all 10 of her college starts.
