Justin Thomas got here from seven photographs again to win his second PGA Championship with an exciting play-off victory over Will Zalatoris at Southern Hills.
The 2017 champion and world no.9 ended his five-year look forward to a second Main title with a record-equalling comeback after 54 holes on the PGA.
With overnight-leader Mito Pereira beginning his last spherical on nine-under, Thomas seemed to be out of the match, however shot 67 to get to five-under, as the lads above him all dropped again.
Pereira, holding a one-shot cushion on the 18th tee after main all day, waited till his 72nd gap to take advantage of premature double-bogey.
Figuring out par could be sufficient for a primary Main victory, the Chilean sliced his tee shot into the creek and made a expensive six, falling out of the lead and the play-off in a capitulation which was powerful to look at.
Englishman Matt Fiztpatrick and American Cameron Younger light, however Zalatoris had the shortest fall, grinding out a one-over 71 and holing an excellent putt on the final to drive Thomas right into a play-off.
Zalatoris, chasing a primary Main victory, had put placing troubles apart for many of the match, however his wobbly stroke let him down on the second play-off gap.
After buying and selling birdies on the sixteenth, Zalatoris missed a brief birdie putt on the seventeenth after Thomas had pushed the inexperienced with a powerful tee shot.
A simple tap-in par was enough for Thomas on the 18th as Zalatoris failed to find a three.
Tears of joy followed as the 29-year-old champion, who had not won at any level since the 2021 Players Championship, returned to the winners’ circle in spectacular fashion.
