LOUISVILLE, Aug 12 (AFP):Rory McIlroy put himself among golf's greatest legends Sunday by winning his fourth major title in dramatic fashion, capturing the PGA Championship in a shotmakers' showdown at rain-softened Valhalla.
Three weeks after winning the British Open, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland rallied on the back nine to take his second major victory in a row and third consecutive triumph overall in impressive fashion.
"Amazing. Incredible. I'm not sure I'll ever have another summer like this," McIlroy said. "I've got a lot of golf left to play this year, but I have to enjoy what I've just done."
McIlroy fired a three-under par 68 in the final round to finish 72 holes on 16-under par 268 and edge five-time major winner Phil Mickelson by one shot with Sweden's fourth-ranked Henrik Stenson and American Rickie Fowler two adrift.
