Gary Williams breaks down Aaron Rai’s breakthrough win at the PGA Championship, a performance that showcased elite ball striking, composure under pressure, and one of the best closing stretches of the season. Gary also examines Rory McIlroy’s missed opportunity after winning The Masters, Jon Rahm’s continued resurgence in major championships, Scottie Scheffler’s short-putting concerns, and why the PGA of America may have delivered one of the most debated and compelling major setups in recent memory. Brendan Porath, co-founder of Fried Egg Golf, joins 5 Clubs to unpack the biggest moments from the PGA Championship at Aronimink. Porath explains why Aaron Rai’s bunker shot on the 13th hole was the defining moment of the tournament, discusses Rory McIlroy’s struggles on the par-5s, and shares why Jon Rahm appears to be regaining clarity in his major championship form. He also dives deep into the course setup debate, the impact of wind and firm conditions, and why this PGA Championship created so much conversation throughout the golf world. Gary also revisits a previous conversation with Aaron Rai from The Memorial Tournament, where the new major champion discussed gratitude, perspective, and how mindset can directly impact performance at the highest level of golf. The episode closes with additional thoughts on Scottie Scheffler’s putting, Rory McIlroy’s consistency in major championships, and what lies ahead as the golf world turns its attention toward Shinnecock and the remainder of the major season. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92). 0:00 PGA Championship Recap 14:55 Brendan Porath 34:30 Diving into Aaron Rai's win and Scottie Scheffler's Putting FOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: X: Facebook: TikTok:
