Rory McIlroy overturned a six-shot deficit in the final round of the PGA Tour Championship to become the first player to win the FedEx Cup three times.
Four-time major winner McIlroy fired a four-under-par 66 to finish on 21-under at East Lake in Atlanta. McIlroy took home the $18 million top prize in the season-ending playoff showdown by one stroke over reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, who fired 73 on Sunday, and South Korean Im Sung-jae.
McIlroy began the round with a bogey but responded with four birdies over his next six holes and walked off the seventh green level with a misfiring Scheffler, who made three early bogeys.
Scheffler moved back in front with a birdie at the eighth but McIlroy rejoined him on top of the leaderboard with a six-foot birdie at the par-four 12th before falling a shot back after a bogey at 14.
