TULSA (Oklahoma), May 23

Justin Thomas capped a breathtaking comeback by beating Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff to win the PGA Championship on Sunday after Chile’s Mito Pereira blew a one-shot lead on the final hole.

The playoff ended a day of pulsating drama at Southern Hills Country Club that saw Thomas stage one of the greatest fightbacks in Majors’ history and Pereira suffer one of the most calamitous collapses.

Seven back at the start of the final round, Thomas seized his chance in the playoff to clinch the Wanamaker trophy with a tap-in par on the 18th to beat Zalatoris by one.

It was the second Major victory for Thomas, who also won the PGA Championship in 2017. “I had a good feeling,” said Thomas. “Although I was so far back there wasn’t that many guys ahead of me, and it’s a very tough golf course.”— Reuters
