Justin Thomas wins US PGA Championship

    Justin Thomas won the US PGA Championship with a thrilling two-shot victory at Quail Hollow.

    The 24-year-old trailed leader Kevin Kisner by two shots going into the final round but hit a three-under-par 68 to win on eight under. It is the American’s first major win.

    Thomas made six birdies in his round, including spectacular efforts on the 10th and 13th holes.

    Francesco Molinari (67), Patrick Reed (67) and Louis Oosthuizen (70) all tied for second.

    In one tense stage of the tournament Thomas, Molinari, Matsuyama, Kisner and Chris Stroud were tied for the lead on the back nine.

    Kisner, who led after each of the opening three rounds, fell away late on as a one-over 72 left him four under for the tournament.

    Thomas, from Kentucky, is the eighth first-time major winner in the last nine majors.
