CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) -Scottie Scheffler held off a spirited effort by Spaniard Jon Rahm to secure a five-shot PGA Championship victory at Quail Hollow Club on Sunday for his third career major title.

World number one Scheffler, who was three shots clear of Swede Alex Noren at the start of the day, struggled off the tee early but righted the ship in time for the back nine to card an even-par 71 that left him at 11 under on the week.
