On May 20, Beijing time, Sunday, Kentucky time, Zand Shaofeler successfully caught a bird in the last hole of Valhalla, beat Bryson Deschambo by one shot ahead, won the PGA Championship in the United States, and achieved his first Grand Slam championship. At the same time, you can also see this as another victory in the battle between the beauty tour and LIV.

The gold medal winner of the Tokyo Olympic Games has been in the front row for many times this year. Both the players' championship and the Wells Fargo Bank championship have led by 54 holes, but he failed to win twice. This time, he and Colin Morikawa took the lead in the last round, and when they came to the last hole, they took the lead in parallel with Bryson Deschambo.

Zand Theophile cut 6 feet outside the green beautifully, and then caught a bird in one push hole, hitting 65 shots. His four round result was 263 shots (62-68-68-65), 21 below the par, ending the two-year championship drought and winning the Wanamaker Trophy Cup.

Zand - Theophile had an excellent performance all day, catching 7 birds and swallowing Bogey on par five only on hole 10. His four rounds were all six stroke. In the first round, he hit the lowest 62 strokes in a single round of the PGA Championship in the United States, and in four days, he broke the lowest stroke in 72 holes of the event. In 2018, when Brooks Kopka won at the Bellerive Country Club, he handed over his previous record of 264 strokes.

However, the victory of Zand Theophile was breathtaking.

Bryson Deschambo was very stable all day and never lost a shot. He set out from the front and scored an 11 foot birdie push on the 18th hole, hitting 64 shots, equaling Zande Shaofeler (- 20 shots), but the latter showed calm and finally ushered in his moment. Bryson Deschambo scored 264 shots (68-65-67-64) in four rounds, 20 shots below the par, ranking second.

Norwegian player Victor Hovland started to catch three birds in a row from the fifth hole, and caught six birds in the first 13 holes. Unfortunately, the last hole swallowed Bogey with three pushes 10 feet away, and hit 66 shots, losing the possibility of winning the championship. He ranked third with 266 strokes (68-66-66-66), 18 strokes below par.

Colin Morikawa, the 54 hole parallel leader, handed in 71 strokes and slipped down, ranking fourth with Thomas Detry (66 strokes) of Belgium, with a score of 269 strokes, 15 strokes below par.

Sean Laurie of Ireland tied the record of 62 strokes yesterday and turned in 70 strokes today, ranking sixth with Justin Ross (69 strokes). His score was 270 strokes, 14 strokes lower than the par.

The world's first Scotty Schaeffler played 73 strokes yesterday when he gave regular caddies a holiday. Today, he returned to his supernatural state again. He just swallowed Bogey in the first hole, caught seven birds, and hit 65 shots. His four round result was 271 shots (67-66-73-65), 13 shots below the par, and he returned to the top ten, and was tied for eighth place.

McIlroy, the second in the world, filed for divorce on Monday. Today, he caught two birds in the last three holes and played 67 shots, ranking 12th with 272 shots (66-71-68-67), 12 below par.
