McIlroy the king Kiawah

Rory McIlroy repeated his stunning US Open success to capture the PGA Championship with a similar commanding eight-stroke winning margin of victory along the sun-splashed Kiawah Island shoreline.

McIlroy turned a venue infamous for the 1991 Ryder Cup ‘War On the Shore’ into his own version of ‘Roars on The Shore’ in carding a bogey-free round of 66 to win with a 13-under tally.

On a sunny summer’s afternoon, McIlroy strode down the last, slipping off his cap and then running his fingers through his hair to unravel his curly brown locks, knowing, if he did, he could take 11 down the 72nd and still win by one.
