The PGA Championship was won comfortably by Scottie Scheffler in the end.
Whilst Scheffler was the main character at Quail Hollow on Sunday, there were plenty of other sub-plots throughout the final day of the PGA Championship.
LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm fought hard to make things interesting, whilst lesser-known names like Alex Noren and David Riley tried to upset the apple cart.
However, there was one man who stormed through the field on Sunday, and put in a performance that completely turned his tournament around.
The main talking point was Scheffler winning the PGA Championship, after having been forced to switch drivers in the build-up to the tournament after his club was adjudged to be non-conforming.
He wasn’t the only one – the same thing happened to Rory McIlroy at the PGA Championship.
However, one of the best stories from the week was one of sheer joy for a player who really made something special of the final round at Quail Hollow.
Harris English made incredible rise on the final day of the PGA Championship
PGA Tour player Harris English turned a fairly average week into an exceptional one with a stunning round of six-under-par 65 on day four at Quail Hollow.
His final round in Charlotte, North Carolina, consisted of seven birdies, one bogey and 10 pars.
It really was an afternoon of sensational golf from English, who bettered the next best score by two shots.
The 35-year-old ended up five shots adrift of eventual winner Scheffler, but in a tie for second alongside DeChambeau and Riley.
He climbed from 51st to 17th in the Official Golf World Rankings after his tie for second at Quail Hollow.
English also earned himself a cool extra $1.34 million after jumping up 36 spots on the final day of the PGA Championship.
His $1.42 million paycheque will look rather different sitting in his account to the $82,000 he would have earned, had he remained in 36th spot.
