Scheffler, in a rare display of pure emotion, took off his hat and slammed it into the green on the 18th hole after winning the PGA Championship by five shots.

Scheffler lost all of a three-stroke lead on the front nine, but righted himself to win the PGA Championship by five shots Sunday in Charlotte at Quail Hollow Club.

Talent, in sport and in life, is about adapting to challenges and curveballs, literally. When Scheffler’s approach to the 16th green on day one sailed miles off to left the plunged into the lake, the cries of mudball went from mumble to roar.
