Rory McIlroy became the first golfer in six years to win consecutive major championships, fighting past Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson to win his second PGA Championship title.
McIlroy lost the one-shot lead he took into the final round at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, before playing the final 12 holes yesterday in 5 under par. He tapped in for a winning par in darkness on the 18th green, with camera flashes illuminating the celebration of his one-stroke victory and fourth in one of the sport’s four majors.
