Justin Thomas, who faced a seven-shot deficit entering Sunday’s final round, rallied and defeated Will Zalatoris in a three-hole aggregate playoff to win the 2022 PGA Championship. With help from Mito Pereira’s heartbreaking debacle on the 72nd hole, Thomas earned the right to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy for the second time in his career. Thomas had four birdies in his last 10 holes of regulation to reach 5 under. Then he birdied the first two extra holes before adding a tap-in par on the final hole to defeat Zalatoris by one shot. Thomas matched the largest comeback in PGA history; John Mahaffey was seven shots back entering the final round before winning the 1978 PGA in a playoff against Tom Watson. #sports #golf #pgachampionship
