**Capture it: Xander Schauffele Wins PGA for First Major**
Xander Schauffele won his first PGA Championship on Sunday, overcoming 2018 champion Brooks Koepka by one stroke to capture his first major title.
“It’s an incredible feeling,” Schauffele said. “I’ve always dreamed of winning a major, and to finally achieve that is truly special.”
Schauffele’s victory was hard-fought, as he and Koepka were tied going into the final round. However, Schauffele separated himself with an eagle on the par-5 10th hole, and then with three birdies over the next four holes.
Schauffele was able to fend off a late charge from Koepka, who had two birdies on the back nine, but it wasn’t enough to catch Schauffele’s exceptional play.
Nelly Korda’s Olympic collapse: It started with 1 ill-fated, ‘hesitant’ move
Nelly Korda’s bid for Olympic gold fell short on Saturday as the world No. 1 finished tied for 15th at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
The American’s hopes of a podium finish evaporated on the 14th hole, where she hit a wayward tee shot into the trees. Korda then compounded her error by playing a “hesitant” second shot that left her with an awkward stance.
From there, Korda’s round unraveled as she carded a triple-bogey 7, ending her chances of a medal.
