The nice guy who finished first: why all of golf was glad to see Aaron Rai lift US PGA Championship

English golfer Aaron Rai won the US PGA Championship, lifting the Wanamaker Trophy after finishing three shots clear of his nearest rivals. Rory McIlroy, who finished ahead of Rai in the clubhouse, praised the winner, while fellow competitors Jon Rahm (three shots back) and Xander Schauffele (five behind) also spoke warmly of Rai's character. The victory was widely celebrated among his peers, with McIlroy noting he could not find a single person on the property who was not happy for Rai.
