American Jimmy Walker made it a clean sweep of the 2016 majors by first-time winners after his victory in the US PGA Championship on Sunday.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at five things we learned from a wet week at Baltusrol.
1 If you want to win the US PGA, buy an RV.
Walker travels to most PGA Tour events in an RV, otherwise known as a recreational vehicle or enormous motorhome to you and I. Coincidentally, so does the man he beat into second place at Baltusrol, defending champion Jason Day. "We're next to each other every week," Walker said. "I see Jason more than anybody, because we are literally staying in the same spot every week." What might be an odd choice to some - most players stay in nice hotels or rented houses - also turned out to be beneficial during the weather-affected proceedings. " It was nice to have the long break in between the (third and fourth) rounds," Walker explained. "I got to go back to my bus. I took a hot shower, relaxed, laid on the couch. Kind of fell asleep for a little bit. It was great. I think it's exactly what I needed to do."
2 Rory McIlroy needs to be decisive
McIlroy blamed "pathetic" putting for his missing the cut by a single shot, albeit after missing the 18th green with a six iron in the second round and taking three attempts to find the green from the rough. The four-time major winner has chopped and changed his technique this season, winning the Irish Open with his left hand below the right on the grip, but then reverting to a conventional method in his very next event. At Baltusrol he needed 35 putts in the first round and confirmed afterwards that he does not have a regular putting coach after several years of occasionally consulting Dave Stockton. The 27-year-old is in danger of "paralysis by analysis" and would do well to pick one method and stick to it.
3 Beef was flavour of the month in July
No one can blame Andrew 'Beef' Johnston for making the most of his cult status - the likeable Londoner has signed an endorsement deal with fast food chain Arby's and thousands of autographs for his new fans during the week. However, it was also encouraging to hear him acknowledge that he needs to balance his new-found fame with the ability to focus on the game which made him famous in the first place. Johnston received sponsor invitations to the John Deere Classic and Wyndham Championship, but opted to turn them both down in order to focus on the European Tour's Race to Dubai standings, where he dropped from 18th to 19th after finishing tied for 60th.
4 Darren Clarke faces one tough choice
While the results at Baltusrol did not change the current nine automatic qualifiers for Clarke's European Ryder Cup side, they did solidify two of his likely wild cards. Martin Kaymer's share of seventh place lifted him to 12th in the standings and the man who secured the vital point at Medinah in 2012 looks set to be picked at the end of the month. Lee Westwood has also done more than enough this season to get the nod for a 10th straight appearance, leaving Clarke to choose between the likes of Soren Kjeldsen, Francesco Molinari, Graeme McDowell, Shane Lowry, Russell Knox and Tyrrell Hatton.
5 Day deserves to be number one
Top spot on the world rankings changed hands with alarming regularity towards the end of 2015 as Day, Spieth and Rory McIlroy battled for supremacy. However, Day has now been the world number one since the end of March, has three wins this season and enjoys a healthy lead over Dustin Johnson of almost three points. His record in the majors this season reads 10-8-22-2 and the manner in which he eagled the 72nd hole on Sunday to pile the pressure on Walker was a testament to his fighting spirit and ability to produce good results when not playing at 100 per cent.
