After three days at Aronimink produced one of the most bunched leaderboards in major history, Aaron Rai emerged victorious on Sunday. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down how Rai separated himself with clutch shots down the stretch in pressure situations.
Smylie and Charlie also dive into why Aronimink proved to be such a difficult test, how course strategy shaped the leaderboard, and what to make of strong weeks from Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Åberg, Cam Smith, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele. Plus, Charlie shares what he saw in person during Rory’s fan interaction, and the guys debate the identity of the PGA Championship going forward.
Thanks for joining The Smylie Show at the PGA Championship presented by T-Mobile, all week from Aronimink Golf Club!
