Magical McIlroy in line for $10m bonus

Rory McIlroy survived a late scare to win the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston and move into pole position to snatch the $10m (€7.94m) FedEx Cup bonus.

The world No 1, who was three strokes behind leader Louis Oosthuizen starting the day, closed with a four under par 67 to win by a shot from the South African on 20 under par and soar to the top of the FedEx Cup standings thanks to his third win of the season.

Three clear with six holes to play, McIlroy went to the par-five 18th just one in front of the overnight leader, who birdied the 13th and 15th to set up a nail-biting finish.
