Xander Schauffele earned his first major win on Sunday at the PGA Championship, and it was a wild day for his family.

As Schauffele's six-footer lipped in for the victory — a miss would have forced a playoff with Bryson DeChambeau — he raised his arms in the air in what seemed like a relaxed sigh of relief.

It was the opposite for his wife, Maya.

Speaking with "The Athletic," Maya said she was "blacking out" in celebration.

"This means everything," an emotional Maya said. "Everything that he has worked hard for, it just goes to show that you’ll see results if you put in the work. He deserves it more than anything. Why do I say that?  I’ve seen the dedication, the work that he puts in, the hours. Even during off weeks, there’s never an off week; they’re constantly practicing. The grind never stops."

The victory was a legacy changer for the 30-year-old, who has now finished in the top three in each major. He tied for second at the 2018 Open Championship and 2019 Masters and tied for third at the 2019 U.S. Open. His previous best finish at the PGA Championship was a tie for 10th in 2017.
