Aaron Rai Becomes First Englishman To Win The PGA Championship. Aaron Rai just became the first Englishman to win the US PGA Championship since 1919. His hard work paid off with a winning score of nine under par, finishing three shots ahead of John Rahm. This marks one of the biggest moments of his career. Rai verbalized his fear to his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi, saying, “Sometimes, I feel that the things around me are going to change too much if I do something crazy,” the day before the big win.
