NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — For just the second time, Donald Ross’ Aronimink in Newton Square, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, hosted the PGA Championship this week, the second men’s major of the year. In fact, the PGA TOUR hasn’t seen this place since Keegan Bradley’s win at the 2018 BMW Championship.

The leaderboard was bunched all four days, but on the back nine on Sunday, Aaron Rai shut the door with a near-70 footer for birdie on the 17th to win his first major by three strokes.

Here’s everything he will receive as the new PGA Champion.
