The final round of the 2025 PGA Championship kicked off on Sunday, with the prestigious Wanamaker Trophy at stake. Topping the leaderboard was the world’s number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, who started the day at 11-under par at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Close behind him was Swedish golfer Alex Noren at 8-under.
Scheffler, aiming for his first PGA Championship and a third major title after winning the Masters in 2022 and 2024, faced a competitive field. His previous best finish at this event was tied for second last year, behind Brooks Koepka.
As the final round unfolded, Scheffler struggled somewhat during the front nine, only managing to hit two of seven fairways early on, resulting in a challenging day as he headed into the back nine just one stroke ahead. Meanwhile, two-time major champion Jon Rahm and Alex Noren made their moves, both staying firmly in the hunt.
Among the notable moments, American Harris English delivered an impressive performance, shooting a 6-under 65, which included five birdies on his back nine, placing him in a tie for third at 6-under for the tournament. Moreover, early rounds showed that the Quail Hollow course might yield low scores, adding excitement to the final day.
Other highlights included notable shots from golfers such as Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood, who both displayed skillful play, including an eagle for Schauffele.
With an attractive weather forecast and promising course conditions, the stage was set for an exhilarating conclusion to the championship, where anything could unfold. Viewers could catch the action on channels including ESPN and CBS, as the world’s best golfers battled it out for glory in this prestigious event.
For golf enthusiasts and followers, this year’s championship has showcased a blend of talent, determination, and the unpredictability that makes major tournaments so compelling.
