TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Justin Thomas wrapped his arms around the 27-pound Wanamaker Trophy after winning his second PGA Championship, and thousands of fans ...

He made a two-putt birdie while Zalatoris could only manage par, sending the 2017 PGA champ to the 18th again — this time with a one-shot lead of his own. Thomas had rattled off a couple of birdies on the back side before an up-and-down for birdie at the 17th, moving him to 5 under and within a shot of the lead. Coming up behind him, Zalatoris had finally wrangled his renegade irons in time to make birdie at the 17th, getting him back to 5 under. So I will bottle that putt on 18 for the future.” Chile's Mito Pereira had a career-changing moment staring him in the face until a fateful shot on the 18th hole. Cameron Young tried to move up the leaderboard during the final round, then left his chances of victory in a fairway bunker on the 16th hole.

After his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship, the rising star is sure his first Major victory is coming.

Like I said, hats off to JT. He's been due for a while to get another win, let alone a Major. So excited for him.” “The fact I was able to get into a playoff was huge,” added Zalatoris. “I fought like crazy all day. So I will bottle that putt on 18 for the future.” I think yesterday [Saturday] was really the day that looking back on it, I was pretty frustrated with. “I know I’m going to get one,” he said after losing the three-hole playoff to Thomas. “It’s just a matter of time. We’ve only got four a year and it's been a dream of mine to win a Major since I was a little kid.

Zalatoris has finished in the top six in four of his last five tournaments and has seven Top-10s already this year. Blistering play on Thursday and Friday allowed him to enter the weekend with the lead. And the promise that he's knocking at the door with intentions to one day knock it down and start building a legacy. Will Zalatoris lost the three-hole aggregate playoff to Thomas through no fault of his own. The other the ecstasy. One showed the agony of a weekend marathon.

Chile's Mito Pereira held a one-shot lead on the 72nd hole after seeing his birdie putt on the 17th stop agonisingly short of the hole, but pushed his drive ...

“I’m going to be happy wherever I finish,” Fleetwood said. I didn’t hit it in the fairway enough. I made too many mistakes on the simple things. Everything I was doing was right. The first three days I was immaculate. Thomas had holed from six feet on the par-five 13th to match the birdie Zalatoris had made after finding the green in two, but Zalatoris missed from eight feet for birdie on the 17th after Thomas had driven the green on the 302-yard par four to set up a two-putt birdie.

From there, he had to replace the ball on the nearest spot where it would stay at rest. It’s because Rule 16.1 demands that the reference point is the nearest point of complete relief from interference from the condition. He opted for lateral relief ( Rule 19.2c) and had a two-club relief area from the spot of the original ball. But there was also something else getting in the way. The first meant going back to the tee, so he clearly wasn’t keen. Zalatoris located his ball, identified it, and decided to take unplayable ball relief for one penalty stroke.
