PGA Championship
Runner-up: Phil Mickelson
David Toms won the PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club, holing a bunker shot on the 17th hole in the final round and then deliberately laying up on the final hole to secure victory. Toms shot 265 (-15) to defeat Phil Mickelson by one shot. The conservative 17th hole bunker shot and 18th hole layup showed exceptional course management.
