The number that mattered first arrived from much further down the page. Kurt Kitayama, thirty-three, two-time PGA Tour winner, started the final round of the 108th PGA Championship at four over par and walked off the eighteenth green at three under. The card he signed for was a bogey-free seven-under 63 on a par seventy that had spent four days giving up almost nothing of the kind. It tied the lowest final round in the history of major championship golf and made him only the second player to shoot 63 on a PGA Championship Sunday. The first was Brad Faxon at Riviera in 1995, a round which, in its time, earned a Ryder Cup wildcard rather than the trophy itself.</p>
