Magnificent Rory McIlroy in the zone

Rory McIlroy completed an amazing comeback from a nightmare start to his week to clinch a dream win in the Deutsche Bank Championship and has set his sights on FedExCup and Ryder Cup glory.

Four over par after just three holes of his opening round, the Holywood star played the remaining 69 holes on 19 under, closing with a six under 65 to claw back a six-shot deficit on overnight leader Paul Casey.

With his putting confidence restored thanks to a move to new coach Phil Kenyon just a fortnight ago, the 27-year old from Co Down won the 20th pro title of his career by two strokes from Casey on 15 under par, leapfrogging Jordan Spieth and Henrik Stenson to third in the world rankings and jumping 34 places to fourth in the FedExCup standings with two playoff events to go.
