Entering the final round with a one-shot lead, Mickelson did not give up or panic, and in the face of the constant approaching of brooks Koepka, the "Grand Slam expert" of the same group, the veteran still relied on his years of experience in the course, delivering a 1-over-par result in the final round, with a total score of 70-70-69-73, with a total score of -6, a two-stroke lead, becoming the first player to win a Grand Slam after the age of 50, and the oldest champion in the history of current Grand Slam events.
Brooks Koepka, who started with champion Murray in the final round, was seen as a powerful seed for the title, even leveling with Ryomi in the leading table nine holes before the start. But helplessly after the transfer, Koepka was unstable, swallowing two bogeys in a row on the 10th and 11th holes, and the gap with the top ranked old rice gradually widened, and finally ended the race with 4 birds, 4 bogeys and 1 double bogey 74 strokes (+2), the total result was two strokes behind the champion old rice, and the harvest was tied for second place.
Also in second place with a total of -4 is South Africa's Luis Urschuren. Ucho ren handed over the highest number of strokes in four days in the final round, ending with a 73 (+1), and after four rounds, the total score was the same as Koepka's -4 strokes, which was tied for runner-up, which is also the second place in the PGA Championship since 2017.
Two Irish stars, Ryder Cup European captain Harrington and Sean Laurie, both shot 69 (-3) in the final round, and the two had the same overall result, with a total of -2 after four rounds, and tied for fourth place with Harry Higgs and Paul Casey.
Mexican youngster Abraham Anther delivered the lowest-game 65 (-7) in the final round, his best result in four days. On the last day of Anser on Kiawah Island, he properly turned on the super mode, grabbed 7 birds in the whole field, did not swallow any bogeys, and the perfect performance was the best in the game. At this year's PGA Championship, Anser's four rounds of results were 74-72-76-65, and the total score was -1, ranking eighth in the tie.
Richie Fowler made steady finishes in the final round, delivering 2 birds and 1 bogey, 71-76-69-71 in four rounds, and the total score was also -1. Fowler, who can only qualify for the competition with a wild card, did not live up to the expectations of fans, and the T8 result obtained in the PGA Championship is also his second top ten since The American Express in 2020. In addition to Anser and Fowler, there are seven other players in the tie for eighth, including 2020 defending champion Colin Morikawa, world number three Joan Ram, "Mr. Rose" Justin Rose and so on.
Jordan Spieth, who failed to complete his career Grand Slam this year, finished with a 74 (+2) in the final round, with an overall score of +2, tied for 30th place alongside Webb Simpson, Ian Poulter and others. Hulk Byson DeChambeau was in poor form in the final round, especially after swallowing four consecutive bogeys from the 12th hole of the back nine, finishing with only 77 (+5) and finishing in tied for 38th place with a total score of +3.
McIlroy still couldn't splash in the final round, and the 4-bird-to-4 bogey level finished the second Grand Slam event of the year, with a four-round record of 75-72-74-72, and a total of +5, ranking tied for 49th place.
