Aaron Rai: From Wolverhampton to major champion

Aaron Rai wasn't one of the favourites for this year's US PGA tournament - the second of the sport's four men's majors. But on the final day of the championship, the Englishman slowly emerged from a huge pack of contenders to top the leaderboard. Showing no nerves, he held off the likes of Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas to take his first major title, finishing three shots clear of the field.

So where did he come from, and where might he go next? More than the Score's Ade Adedoyin hears from Rai's childhood coach, Darren Prosser, about how a Formula One-loving child from Wolverhampton found a passion for golf, and the sacrifices Aaron's parents made to support his progress in the game. Darren also discusses how much Rai's roots in the Midlands, India and Kenya mean to him.

Ade's also joined by Iain Carter, the BBC's golf correspondent, who says that Rai's victory at the US PGA wasn't necessarily a shock, after several years of steady progress up the ranks. He also explains how a steady temperament, and some idiosyncratic habits, have been key to his rise.
