Rai went into the final round two strokes back and was three behind with 10 holes to play, before a 40-foot eagle at the par-five ninth sparked a scoring burst that pushed him up a congested leaderboard. The world No 44 posted two birdies in a three-hole stretch from the 11th and added back-to-back gains from the 16th, including a sensational 70-foot putt at the par-three 17th, to grab control and a three-shot cushion.

Key dates in 2026Get Sky Sports or stream golf with no contract A two-putt par at the last closed a final-round 65 and saw him end the week on nine under, with Rai ending a streak of 10 consecutive American winners at the PGA Championship and becoming the first English winner since Jim Barnes in 1919. Jon Rahm finished tied-second with overnight leader Alex Smalley as he chased the third leg of the career Grand Slam, while two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas shared fourth spot alongside Ludvig Aberg and Germany's Matti Schmid. Rory McIlroy's bid for back-to-back major titles ended five strokes back in tied-seventh with Xander Schauffele and Cameron Smith, while Kurt Kitayama jumped inside the top-10 with a round-of-the-day 63 and Scottie Scheffler ended his title defence on two under after a final-round 69. How Rai edged major thriller at Aronimink Some 30 players were within five of the lead heading into the final round, with Rahm making the first move after posting a birdie-birdie start to pull level with Smalley on six under. Rahm lost ground after bogeying the next, where Smalley held a 25-footer to scramble a par and remain ahead, only for a three-shot swing at the sixth seeing Smalley make double-bogey and Schmid to hole from 20 feet and card a third birdie in five holes. Rai - playing two groups behind the leaders - was one back after an opening-hole birdie but found himself two behind after bogeys at the sixth and eighth, before his long-range eagle at the ninth pulled him back tied-second and within one of Schmid. The German started his back nine with a bogey to hand the lead to Rai, who made a close-range birdie at the 11th and got up and down from the greenside bunker to pick up a shot at the drivable par-four 13th. Schmid birdied the same hole to halve Rai's advantage but fell three back when the Wolverhampton golfer took control of the tournament, two-putting from 20 feet to birdie the par-five 16th and holing his longest putt of the week at the next to leave victory all but confirmed. Rai then found the green in regulation at the par-four last and two-putted for a winning par, with his victory marking the first time in the modern era that the opening two men's majors of the year have been won by European players. "It [winning] is very surreal," Rai said. "It has been a bit of a frustrating season so to be stood here is definitely outside of my wildest imagination. I think it is really good consistency over the last few weeks with practice. My body feels great and I have really enjoyed the course this week." Rahm mixed four birdies with two bogey in a final-round 68 to end the week on six under, with Smalley finding an eagle-three at the 16th and cancelling out a bogey at the next with a 20-foot birdie at the last to also share second. Scheffler and McIlroy fall short at Aronimink McIlroy boosted his hopes of a third PGA Championship victory when he followed a 10-footer to save par at the first by birdieing the second, getting him within two, only to close out the rest of his front nine in pars. The world No 2 failed to capitalise on a 379-yard tee shot into the par-five ninth and saw his par streak ended with a bogey at the driveable 13th, where he hit a wayward three-wood into the rough and failed to find the green with his second. McIlroy kept his slim hopes alive by rolling in a 25-foot birdie at the next but was unable to take advantage of the 16th, leaving him level-par for the week on the par-fives, with a tied-seventh finish equalling his best finish at the PGA Championship since his 2014 victory. Scheffler went into the final day five back and outside the top-20 as he chased a fifth major in as many seasons, but the world No 1 - who can complete the career Grand Slam at the US Open next month - struggled on the greens throughout the week. "When I look back on a week like this, I feel I've had a really good year on the greens and to have a disappointing week on the greens at a major is a tough pill to swallow," Scheffler admitted to Sky Sports, having missed six putts from inside five feet during the week. What's next? The PGA Tour heads to Texas for The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, where Scheffler returns as defending champion. Early coverage begins on Thursday from 12.45pm on Sky Sports+ and 5pm on Sky Sports Golf.

The Hammers are in big danger of being relegated from the Premier League after their 3-1 loss at St James' Park. Rivals Spurs need only one point from their final two Premier League fixtures to send West Ham down to the Championship. Should Spurs lose at Chelsea on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports, West Ham would then need to beat Leeds at the London Stadium and hope Everton win at Spurs on the final day. But despite the high stakes on Sunday, West Ham errors helped Newcastle to victory. "I bet Newcastle couldn't believe their luck," said Keane. "This is a Newcastle team who haven't been brilliant recently and you're gifting them the game. "They had a go in the end - but it's very easy to have a go when you're 3-0 down. The game is done. Newcastle 3-1 West Ham - Match report and highlightsAs it happened | Teams | StatsLive Premier League table | Watch FREE PL highlights "It's about the way they started the game. That wasn't a team fighting for their lives. "Obviously they're lacking confidence. It's as if they've not recovered from last weekend [against Arsenal]. The decision went against them last week, almost feeling sorry for themselves. "Be compact, be hard to beat, stay in the game. They've done the opposite of that. They've gifted goals and the table doesn't lie. Not good enough. The decision-making - that is schoolboy stuff." West Ham were 2-0 down inside 19 minutes, with the first goal - coming from a poor pass out from goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, which allowed Harvey Barnes to cross for the unmarked Nick Woltemade to score - setting the tone. "I can't believe it," said Keane when reviewing that goal. "Players make mistakes. It's what you do after that. You try to cover for your team-mates. "No intensity, no desire. Fighting for their lives? They didn't show that. "To start the game like that, it's a long way back." Nuno: West Ham players deserved the jeers of travelling fans Nuno Espirito Santo has admitted West Ham's fans were right to chant that his players were "not fit to wear the shirt" after defeat at Newcastle left them on the brink of Premier League relegation. A section of the travelling support made their feelings abundantly clear on the final whistle, and Nuno had no problem with that. He said: "It hurts a lot, of course. This is our job, this is our life, but the fans are right and today they show their anger and frustration and they have reasons to. "It hurts, it hurts the boys, it hurts us, it hurts the club. That's why this week we should finish the season with dignity and respect for the fans. "We should do better so we can show at the London Stadium to our fans a different performance and attitude in terms of the game. "Anything is possible. Let's wait for Tuesday. Even though it's difficult, we're still alive. Let's see. There's some hope. But more than anything is respect. Let's prepare ourselves and show a better performance. This is what our fans deserve. He added: "Bad performance and a bad day for us. It's going to be a tough week ahead. After today, it's going to be a very tough week." Fernandes: We need to believe we can stay up West Ham midfielder Matheus Fernandes also gave a damning assessment of the team's performance. He called on his team-mates to step up and take responsibility. "The first 20 minutes was so painful for us," he told Sky Sports. "We are trying to do one thing and when we arrived, we did the other thing. "They score the chance and after that, we tried to create and just score one goal. "We have this week to believe, we just need to believe. It's our responsibility and we need to do much better. "Since the first day, it is the players who decide the game. We need to take responsibility for this moment. We have one more game. "It's frustrating because it is one game that can change everything; it is difficult." At full-time, West Ham's players were greeted with chants of 'You're not fit to wear the shirt' when they went to thank their travelling supporters. "We didn't play with full fight and spirit like we did against Arsenal," said Fernandes when asked about that. "We missed everything: the fight, the energy and the second balls. "Very hard to think about the future. One game to try and be good. It is difficult but it is football; anything can happen."
