Day 4 Update

After putting himself into contention on Saturday with an impressive score of 69, Rory McIlroy followed it up with a spectacular Day 4 score of six-under-par 66 and won the 2014 BMW PGA Championship.

McIlroy sat in fourth coming into the final day of play, but his great Sunday score coupled with the lackluster play of Thomas Bjorn, Shane Lowry and Joost Luiten led him to the championship victory.

While Lowry had a great round on Day 4—he shot a 68 on Sunday—the pressure of holding the lead was too much for him and he struggled to maintain his composure down the stretch. Unlike Lowry, though, Bjorn completely came apart with a three-over-par score that ruined his chance at victory.

Shane Bacon of Yahoo Sports talked about the success and of McIlroy despite dealing with personal issues of the course:

If McIlroy can carry this momentum as the tour heads into Major season—U.S. Open in June, Open Championship in July and the PGA Championship in August—he will be a serious contender ...
