Jon Rahm was on the verge of a stunning comeback, but Scottie Scheffler held him off.
Rahm lost the 2025 PGA Championship by five strokes in the end and his emotions were on display for everyone to see.
An emotional Rahm embraced his wife@GolfonCBSRahm collapsed over his final three holes, meaning Scheffler coasted to the third major of the career.
After such a devastating end, the Spaniard was seen being consoled by his wife.
Footage showed him walking over to his partner before sinking his head into her shoulder, then they stood together as Rahm looked extremely emotional.
The video quickly went viral on social media as fans expressed sympathy with the 30-year-old.
“He has nothing to hang his head about! Masters and US Open champion! Keep grinding!” one fan commented on Instagram.
“I’ve never seen a pro blow up so badly before. Hope he shakes it off,” another fan wrote.
“Oh my goodness this is so sad, so tough watching,” one fan posted.
Rahm said afterwards that his late demise was a “tough pill to swallow,” as he analysed where it went wrong.
“It was really close,” the former US Open and Masters champion said.
“God, it’s been a while since I had that much fun on a golf course, [the first] 15 holes.
Rahm could not hide his emotionsGETTY It was a late collapse by Rahm after being on the verge of overturning a 5 shot deficitGETTY“Even the first seven where I was swinging well and things weren’t happening, but I kept myself in and made the pars that I needed and played really good golf from the eighth to the 15th.
“The last three holes, it’s a tough pill to swallow right now. Especially knowing 16 is not the narrowest fairway in the world. Not a terrible swing, but bad enough to put me in a real difficult situation.”
Rahm made a bogey on the 16th hole before sending his tee shot into water on the par-three 17th on his way to a double-bogey five.
He then had two more dropped shots on the last hole as his hopes of another major unravelled.
“The mistake I did on 16 was the same mistake on 18, just different clubs. It wasn’t that bad of a swing, not that far off. The result is horrendous, but feeling-wise it’s not that far off,” Rahm said.
“A lot of positives to take from this week. Pretty fresh wound right now. But there’s been a lot of good happening this week and a lot of positive feelings to take for the rest of the year.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve been in position to win a major that close and haven’t done it.”
Rahm had not been a realistic contender for any of the five majors since leaving the PGA Tour in December 2023, but this Quail Hollow demonstrated his quality.
“Am I embarrassed a little bit about how I finished today? Yeah. But I just need to get over it, get over myself. It’s not the end of the world,” he added.
“It’s not like I’m a doctor or a first responder, where somebody if they have a bad day, truly bad things happen.”
In the end it would be Scheffler who would raise the trophyGettyRahm was looking to become the first Spaniard to win the US PGA Championship, and after a solid start, there was every bit a chance he would have made that bit of history.
After his first seven pars, he exploded into life with birdies on the eighth, 10th and 11th holes to tie the lead.
Although after Scheffler pulled clear again, he missed chances to take the lead down the back nine and then by this point, the dramatic collapse would begin.
“I’ll get over it. I’ll move on,” Rahm said.
“Again, there’s a lot more positive than negative to think about this week. I’m really happy I put myself in position and hopefully learn from this and give it another go in the US Open.”
