Phil Mickelson(-4)

Runner-up: Steve Elkington

Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship at Baltusrol for his second major championship. Mickelson shot a closing 72 to hold off Steve Elkington and Thomas Bjorn by one shot. The win confirmed Mickelson as a bonafide major champion after his 2004 Masters breakthrough. His left-handed power game was suited to Baltusrol's demanding layout.
