England’s Aaron Rai achieved a major career milestone by winning his first PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship, held at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina.

Rai, who entered the final round trailing by four shots, produced an impressive closing performance, carding a 64 to finish at 18-under-par, securing a two-shot victory.

The 29-year-old Rai displayed remarkable composure and skill, particularly on the back nine, where he capitalized on a dramatic shift in the leaderboard. The turning point came as American Max Greyserman, who had been leading comfortably, encountered unexpected difficulties.

Greyserman, also 29, had seemingly secured his position with a spectacular eagle on the par-four 13th hole. However, his fortunes took a dramatic turn on the 14th when he drove out of bounds, leading to a quadruple bogey.

Although he managed a birdie on the following hole, his hopes were dashed when he four-putted on the par-three 16th, ending his round at 16-under-par.

Rai’s victory was sealed with a steady hand and strategic play, allowing him to leapfrog Greyserman on the leaderboard. Reflecting on his triumph, Rai described the win as “truly a dream come true,” adding that he remained calm under pressure and focused on executing his game plan.

The final day of the tournament was intense, with most players required to complete 36 holes due to weather disruptions earlier in the event. J.J. Spaun of the United States and Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune tied for third place, finishing at 15-under-par.
