Rory McIlroy is clearly the best golfer in the world.

He answered yet another set of questions from doubters Sunday. After coming into the final round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky with a one-stroke lead, McIlroy hit snags on the third and sixth holes.

The two bogeys caused him to fall behind the likes of Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson. Yet in the end, McIlroy showed the resolve and the poise that never used to be associated with him.

When the smoke cleared and the sun finally set on a darkened 18th hole, McIlroy had won his third straight tournament and fourth major.



This kid is pretty good.



The final 90 minutes of play was as good as it gets for television viewers. The four in contention played at such a rapid pace and made such amazing shots look easy, it was simply a joy to watch.



Without question, had Tiger Woods been playing, Sunday's action would have been of interest to more people. However, for golf enthusiasts, there was nothing lacking from the finale of the last major of the year.

Here's a look at the final standings.



Once McIlroy's win was official, Twitter exploded with reaction toward the four men who had been in contention throughout most of the final round.

 

Rory is Clutch

Some joked that McIlroy's decision not to get married has been good for his game.



Whatever the case may be, the 25-year-old has turned the corner in his career.

A beautiful eagle on the 10th hole and birdies on the 13th and the 17th helped McIlroy shoot four-under par on the back nine. While his competitors all faltered down the stretch, McIlroy did not. 



He even caught the Wanamaker trophy as it fell during the post-tournament presentation.
