Aaron Rai, a 31-year-old golfer of Indian descent, made history by winning the PGA Championship, finishing at 9-under par. This victory marks him as the first Englishman to lift the Wanamaker Trophy since 1919. Rai's final round of 65 secured him a three-shot lead over Spain’s Jon Rahm and American Alex Smalley, earning him $3.69 million from a record $20.5 million purse. Rai's journey to this moment has been shaped by his family's sacrifices; his parents, Amrik Singh and Dalvir, worked hard to support his golfing aspirations, even cleaning his clubs meticulously to preserve them. Rai's distinctive style includes wearing two gloves, a practice stemming from his family's financial struggles and a local reader's generous gift during his youth. His wife, Gaurika Bishnoi, also a professional golfer, played a significant role in his success, serving as his caddie and providing invaluable support. Rai's win not only adds a major title to his name but also symbolizes the culmination of years of dedication and family support.
