Aaron Rai wins the PGA, TOUR Pros grade their seasons | The Drop
Mentioned in this video
The Drop reacts to Aaron Rai’s victory at the PGA Championship, as hosts Alexandra O’Laughlin and Matt Every return to the studio after being onsite at Aronimink Golf Club all week for the year’s second major. We break down Rai’s triumph and put it in historical context. We also break down a week that could have been for Rory McIlroy, and why Matt says he is poised to add to his career major total in the not-too-distant future. Finally before moving on, we pay tribute to an incredible venue that successfully challenged the world’s top players. A look ahead to this week’s CJ CUP Byron Nelson focuses on defending champion Scottie Scheffler and how last year’s victory was both challenging and meaningful. As the TOUR season crosses the halfway point, we went out to the course to ask players to give themselves a midseason grade. Finally, hear about the PGA Champion’s humble beginnings, as Aaron Rai talks about his upbringing and the circumstances that led to his unique two-gloved style of play.
