Victory and margin: Schauffele shot a superb final-round 65 to finish at –9 (275), coming from one stroke behind to win by two over Billy Horschel and Justin Rose .

Back-nine charge: His back nine was exceptional, four birdies in six holes (Nos. 11, 13, 14 & 16) in windswept conditions secured his lead .

Perfect composure: The round was bogey-free and the lowest of the day, with Schauffele “calm” throughout despite stiff winds and rain .

Historical context: With this win, he became the first golfer since Brooks Koepka in 2018 to secure two majors in a single year (PGA and Open) and helped complete a sweep of all four majors by Americans in 2024 the first such feat since 1982 .

Runner-up performance: Billy Horschel, the 54-hole leader, closed with a strong 68 including birdies on the final three holes, finishing at –7 alongside Rose .

Notable moments: The third round nearly eliminated Horschel’s lead, but he rebounded admirably. Meanwhile, Thriston Lawrence surged early in the final round but faded late, ending fourth .

In short, Schauffele’s bogey-free 65 under brutal links conditions and his clutch birdies in the final stretch sealed his triumph by two shots over Billy Horschel and Justin Rose.
