PGA Championship at a glance

Australia’s Jason Day was overcome with emotion on the 18th green as he realized he had finally won his first major tournament after coming so close so many times in recent years. He finally broke through at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Glance at the fourth round of the PGA Championship at 7,501-yard, par-72 Whistling Straits:

Champion: Jason Day, who shot 5-under 67 to finish at a major-record 20-under par.

Runner-Up: Jordan Spieth, who finished at 17 under and never got closer to Day than two shots.

Others: Branden Grace was third, followed by Justin Rose.

Rory Watch: Rory McIlroy finished 17th at 9 under. He reported no problems with the ankle he hurt playing soccer earlier this summer.

New No. 1: Spieth, the Masters and U.S. Open champion, took the top spot in the world ranking from McIlroy.

Key stat: Day was 14 under on the par 5s this week, eight shots better than Spieth.

Noteworthy: Dustin Johnson opened the day with a quadruple-bogey 8, then went 7 under the rest of the round en route to a tie for seventh.

Quoteworthy: “He played like he had won seven or eight majors before.” –Spieth on Day, who won his first major.
