After one of the most thrilling final rounds in recent major championship history, world No. 1 Rory McIlroy proved why he is considered the best player in the world.

On the strength of a five-under 66, McIlroy won the 2014 PGA Championship. It was his third-straight tournament win and the fourth major championship of his career. 

Here's a look at the final leaderboard.



McIlroy made several big shots over the four days at Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky, but his eagle on the 10th hole was probably the biggest.



After two bogeys on the front nine, McIlroy needed something big to put himself back in the hunt, with Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson playing well.

Clutch play hasn't always been associated with McIlroy, but after two-straight performances where he had to stare down elite competition on the final day, it's quickly becoming part of the 25-year-old's MO.



Last week, McIlroy turned back a red-hot Sergio Garcia on the final day to win the WGC Bridgestone Invitational.



McIlroy's latest exhibition of skill and poise netted him $1.8 million. Here's a look at the total pay out, per ESPN.com:
