The PGA Championship made up for a major championship season devoid of drama with one waterlogged and wonderful Sunday. That it ended with McIlroy making history, and rushing to beat darkness after a rain delay of 1 hour, 51 minutes, made it all the more memorable. Not that his shotmaking didn’t already do so.
