Rory McIlroy became the first three-time winner in FedExCup history after coming through a final-round tussle with world No 1 Scottie Scheffler to claim a ...

"I got a little lucky with Scottie (Scheffler) not playing his best golf today, and I took advantage of that with my good play. McIlroy hit the pin with a chip from the back of the 16th green and poured in from eight feet to save par, which was enough for the solo lead when Scheffler did not get up and down from the sand, while Im recovered from a double-bogey at the 14th to birdie the 15th and 17th to get within one. A close-range birdie at the eighth was enough for Scheffler to edge back ahead until McIlroy rolled in from eight feet at the 12th to get to 20 under, with Im a shot off the pace after cancelling out a bogey at the eighth by picking up a shot at the par-three next and birdieing the 12th.

“It’s hard to watch this happen to a guy of this pedigree, this caliber. McIlroy coolly canned the par putt to stay 21 under and Scheffler missed from 9 feet. This was always going to be a hard day for him, a hard weekend, and he’s really feeling the heat now.” McIlroy made birdie one hole later to tie for the lead. Trying for his fifth win of the season, Scheffler struggled to three bogeys in his first six holes. “I feel sort of bad that I pipped him to the post. It’s only after the fact that it’s fun.” He got the Masters and I got this.” The Northern Irishman spotted Scheffler six strokes in the staggered-start scoring system implemented at the Tour Championship. He chipped away at Scheffler’s lead with another 67 on Friday and then made his move on Saturday. 1 Scottie Scheffler with a final-round 4-under 66 at East Lake Golf Club to win the Tour Championship.

Rory McIlroy claims third FedEx Cup title with win at Tour ... (Sportsnet.ca)

Rory McIlroy held off a challenge from Scottie Scheffler to win the Tour Championship on Sunday, claiming his third FedEx Cup title in the process.

And it was McIlroy who joined Tiger Woods in leading a momentous player-only meeting last week that led to significant changes ahead for the tour. Most of that fell to Scheffler, who looked like different players when he returned Sunday morning and after a two-hour break before the final round. McIlroy won the FedEx Cup in 2016 in a playoff. And at the end, the tour's biggest voice had its biggest trophy. Scheffler badly misread a 10-foot birdie chance on the 17th to tie, sending the Tour Championship to the final hole with $18 million on the line. McIlroy holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 15th hole to tie for the lead. He won the FedEx Cup again in 2019, the first year of a staggered start. “I’ve had a really great year and I wanted to finish it off with a win here, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to do that.” Scheffler was hoping to cap off the best year in golf with the FedEx Cup title. The last one to do that was Dustin Johnson in 2017 at the HSBC Champions. 1 seed, who began with a two-shot lead and never trailed until the 70th hole. McIlroy won $18 million, pushing his PGA Tour earnings to over $26 million for the season.

With the fourth round beginning in Atlanta, let's take a look at the key tee times for the top of the leaderboard. Second ($6.5 million) and third ($5 million) place aren't too bad either, but the top of the leaderboard is only looking at one spot. The big question Sunday is whether Scottie Scheffler, who entered East Lake with a two-stroke lead and saw it balloon to five only to lead by one at the end of play Saturday, can hold on to his advantage now that the third round is complete.

2022 Tour Championship leaderboard, winner: Rory McIlroy comes ... (CBSSports.com)

One could not discuss the future of the PGA Tour this season without Rory McIlroy's name being on their lips. On Sunday at the 2022 Tour Championship, ...

Beginning the week in the second position at 8 under, the Californian was a mainstay on the first page of the leaderboard despite some struggles on the greens. The self-belief king should only continue this trajectory heading into next year as he has added two victories, a top-five finish at the Tour Championship and (more than likely) an appearance for the United States in the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow -- the site of his first PGA Tour win -- to his playing résumé. One of only four players to not break par in the third round, Schauffele wasn't able to keep up with his playing competitor, Scheffler, and eventually the rest of the field. Playing his final 56 holes in 18 under, Homa was able to climb from the depths of the leaderboard and into a seven-figure paycheck. He had gotten within one stroke of the lead on multiple occasions, but it was a double bogey on the par-4 14th that ultimately took his name out of FedEx Cup contention. That was a spectacle out there today -- two of the best players in the world going head-to-head for the biggest prize on the PGA Tour -- and I hope everyone at home enjoyed that." The adopted son of Atlanta, Im was casually going about his business and tried his damnedest to recover from a major blunder on his back nine Sunday. While the bounces went the way of the 26-year-old at the year's first major championship (and for much of the year), on Sunday, the golf gods willed the man from Northern Ireland to victory, making amends for a season that featured four top-10 finishes in the major championships including a heartbreaker (in The Open Championship at St. With a win, Scheffler would have secured the richest season in the history of the PGA Tour and only the fifth five-win season of the last decade, joining Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. Starting the week with a two-stroke lead, building it to as many as seven and beginning the final round with a six-stroke edge, Scheffler simply let the FedEx Cup slip through his fingers. However, it was the third-round back nine that he concluded early Sunday that made him a true contender as Rory birdied three of his last six holes to card a 63 and claim his spot alongside Scheffler in the final pairing as he put pressure on the 54-hole leader despite a six-stroke deficit. McIlroy later mentioned the "battle of Georgia" between the two titans of the game as Scheffler got the better of McIlroy at the 2022 Masters at Augusta National in April.

It was the best round of the day and tied Justin Thomas and Hideki Matsuyama for low round of the tournament. McIlroy's $18 million prize eclipses the entire purses of events such as the Masters, PGA Championship, Open Championship and U.S. And before his tournament even started, he was four strokes behind the leader, Scheffler, because of the Tour Championship's handicap scoring. McIlroy faced adversity at the start and end of this weekend's Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Indeed, none of the other golfers in the field even bogeyed both of their first two holes. McIlroy found himself six strokes behind Scheffler to start the fourth round.
