US PGA Championship 2025: final round on day four – live

So much was expected from Rory McIlroy this week. So much for the concept of Rory McIlroy Country Club (© Jordan Spieth, all rights reserved). His bid was pretty much scuppered from the get-go, with that opening round of 74, and he only really brought anything like his good stuff on Friday, with a 69. He’s just followed up yesterday’s 72 with the same score, and finishes the week +3. Ah well, he’ll always have Augusta. As he loads his clubs into the back of the car to go home, he runs into Jon Rahm, who is only just off to work, and slaps his European Ryder Cup buddy on the back, sending him off with a cheery “play well!” Sad to see the newest member of the career-slam club leave the course so early, but that’s golf for you.

The 2023 US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick’s slim hopes seem pretty much extinguished already. A miss to the left on 1 costs him a shot; a miss to the right on 2 costs him another. He’s back to -3 and only has pounds, points and position to play for now.
