31-year-old Aaron Rai captured his first major on Sunday, becoming the first Englishman to win the US PGA Championship since 1919 and the first non-American to lift the Wanamaker Trophy in 10 years.
Darren Prosser, who began coaching Rai at age seven at Wolverhampton's 3 Hammers Golf Complex, said Rai "picked that course off fantastically" and praised how he kept his emotions in check over the closing holes.
Rai's rise began early: he won a tournament and made a hole in one at age five, while his family made major sacrifices, with his father leaving work to support his development and his mother working long hours.
The victory follows a frustrating season in which Rai said a neck injury had limited practice, making the breakthrough "outside of my wildest imagination" and potentially a springboard for further success.
