USPGA Round 4/4 Report

US PGA final-round leaderboard

-16: R McIlroy (NI)
-15: P Mickelson (US)
-14: H Stenson (Swe), R Fowler (US)
-12: J Furyk (US), R Palmer (US)
Selected others: -9: L Westwood (Eng), M Warren (Sco), -8: J Donaldson (Wal), J Rose (Eng), -5: D Willett (Eng)
World number one Rory McIlroy edged a gripping US PGA Championship in near darkness at Valhalla to become the first UK player to win back-to-back majors.
Three players were still in contention at the final hole, with heavy rain having earlier led to a two-hour delay.
A see-saw battle on the back nine witnessed four different players sharing the lead at some stage.
But it was the Northern Irishman who dug deep to follow his Open success.
The 25-year-old had earlier seen his overnight one-shot lead wiped out on the front nine and was three shots behind the leaders at one point before taking control after the turn.
A three-under 68 on the final day saw off Phil Mickelson, with Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson a shot further adrift.
McIlroy later credited the "best golf of his life" with producing a summer beyond his "wildest dreams".
However McIlroy would not have finished the day were it not for a fine display of sportsmanship from Mickelson and Fowler. The pair were in the group ahead and allowed him to play up behind them as he tried to beat the fading light following the rain delay, then waited on the side of the 18th green to applaud the new champion.
Flashlights illuminated the night sky as McIlroy showed sheer relief after holing out his final putt, fist-pumping the air and celebrating on the course with his father Gerry before receiving the huge Wanamaker Trophy.
McIlroy's resurgence on the back nine capped an enthralling final dayand saw him become the third youngest player of the modern era - after Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus - to win four of golf's biggest prizes, while he also becomes the first man to win back-to-back majors since Ireland's Padraig Harrington in 2008.
An ever-changing leaderboard saw an early five-way tie - between Fowler, Mickelson, McIlroy, Stenson and Bernd Wiesberger - transform into a narrow advantage for 25-year-old Fowler around the turn.
The competition then became a see-saw battle with Fowler, playing partner Mickelson, Stenson and McIlroy all taking a share of the lead over the back half.
But McIlroy rediscovered the mental resilience shown in his recent Open win at Hoylake to emerge as a worthy winner.
Having fallen three shots behind Fowler after six holes, he swung the momentum back in his favour with a majestic eagle three at the 590-yard 10th.

BBC Sport golf correspondent Iain Carter

"Of his four majors, this was McIlroy's most impressive. He won the first two by eight strokes and took down a classy field at the Open for his third. In this one he demonstrated an astonishing will to win to come from three strokes back on the inward half. His eagle at the 10th showed him capable of golf beyond the rest of the field - no one else hit that par five in two strokes. It was the most thrilling major in recent years - McIlroy prevailed in near darkness and took a giant step towards golfing greatness."
That moved him back to within a shot of Fowler, and he claimed a share of the lead with another birdie on the 13th. And when Mickelson bogeyed the 16th, McIlroy regained the outright lead for the first time since he walked off the second green.
From there, despite reduced visibility as darkness began to fall at the Kentucky course, it was McIlroy's title to lose.
McIlroy had started the final day with a one-shot lead and was considered by many the favourite to win a second US PGA title after his success at Kiawah Island two years ago.
However, there had been signs during Saturday's third round that McIlroy was not in the same imperious form that saw him ease to victory at the Open last month.
A stoic McIlroy insisted the rain delay "did not bother him" but he quickly found himself adrift once play resumed at 19:40 BST.
The deluge brought the early starters off the sodden course, forcing a one hour 50 minute delay as water flooded the greens and fairways.

Stat attack

The US PGA has the biggest prize fund - $10m (£6m) - of all four majors. Winner Rory McIlroy pockets $1.8m (£1.1m).
Runner-up Phil Mickelson, a five-time major winner, had not earned a top-10 finish in any competition this year.
McIlroy's Open and US PGA double plus German Martin Kaymer's US Open win mean it is the first time in the modern era that Europe has claimed three majors in the same season.
Rickie Fowler is only the third man to finish in the top five of all four majors in a season in the modern era. The American joins Jack Nicklaus (1971 and 1973) and Tiger Woods (2000, 2005).
Ernie Els suggested in the enforced break that play should have been postponed until Monday, but would have been glad that organisers did not heed his advice after making a blistering start.
A run of four straight birdies helped the South African turn in a five-under-par 30, and he gained another shot on 11 before his slim hopes of a fifth major were finally ended with a bogey on the 17th.
Meanwhile, Scotland's Marc Warren carded a 67 to finish on nine under, alongside England's Lee Westwood and McIlroy's playing partner Wiesberger.
The little-known Austrian surprised many to be a shot off the overnight lead, but could only manage a 74, making him one of only two men in the top 30 to shoot over par on Sunday.
England's Danny Willett was the other, scoring a 72 to finish five under, which was three shots behind Wales' Ryder Cup hopeful Jamie Donaldson.

USPGA Round 3/4 Report

US PGA third-round leaderboard

-13: R McIlroy (NI)
-12: B Wiesberger (Aut)
-11: R Fowler (US)
-10: P Mickelson (US), J Day (Aus)
-9: L Oosthuizen (SA), H Stenson (Swe), M Ilonen (Fin), R Palmer (US)
Selected others: -8: J Donaldson (Wal), -7: L Westwood (Eng), -6: D Willett (Eng), -5: M Warren (Sco)
Rory McIlroy maintained a one-shot advantage on day three of the US PGA Championship, despite struggling to find his imperious best at Valhalla.
The world number one shot a four-under-par 67 to lead on 13 under par, one clear of Austrian Bernd Wiesberger going into the final day.
Wiesberger finished with three birdies to card a 65, with Rickie Fowler a shot adrift after a 67.
Phil Mickelson and Jason Day are 10 under, with four players on nine under.
Louis Oosthuizen, Henrik Stenson, Mikko Ilonen and Ryan Palmerare bunched together as they attempt to cling on to Northern Ireland's McIlroy.
"It's not the biggest lead I've ever had but I am still in control of this tournament," McIlroy said. "The two birdies on 15 and 16 were huge."
The 25-year-old has climbed back to number one in the world rankings after successive wins at the Open Championship and last week's World Golf Championship event in Ohio.

BBC Sport golf correspondent Iain Carter

"Not since Padraig Harrington in 2008 has a player won the Open and then the US PGA. The difference here is that McIlroy has also won the World Golf Championships event in between. The ability to seize the moment is what is setting the Northern Irishman apart from the rest. Those three birdies in the last four holes of his third round told the rest of the field they will have to do something special to overtake him. Victory here would be another giant step towards golfing greatness."
He took a one-shot lead into the third round at a damp Valhalla, but was unable to reproduce the form which marked him out as the overwhelming favourite to clinch a fourth major win.
A wayward tee shot on the driveable 292-yard fourth, duffed chips on the eighth and 12th holes, plus an overhit approach shot on the 11th, were uncharacteristic errors by in-form McIlroy.
But he found another gear to finish with three birdies in the final four holes to hold off Wiesberger, describing his own performance as "gutsy".
He added: "It's the best place to be in a tournament. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

Former European Tour golfer Jay Townsend on BBC Radio 5 live

"That was Tiger-esque from Rory. He didn't play that well and he's got a one-shot lead. McIlroy is the class of the field. We've said several times this week he should win. If he plays his best he should win by five or six."
Wiesberger, a 28-year-old with only two European Tour wins since turning professional in 2006, had missed the cut in four of his five previous major appearances.
But, playing alongside five-time major winner Mickelson, he finished with three birdies to card an unblemished 65 - the joint lowest score of the day. 
"It was a dream come true really, going out there with Phil, one of my heroes," said Wiesberger, who will tee off alongside McIlroy in Sunday's final pairing.
"I played beautifully today, I didn't miss a lot of shots, set up a few nice opportunities on the last few holes especially. I'm very proud of myself the way I played."
Wales' Jamie Donaldson shot a five-under 66 to leave him five adrift of McIlroy, boosting his chances of securing a Ryder Cup debut next month.
Donaldson, 38, currently occupies the final automatic spot in Paul McGinley's team and looks set to earn himself more valuable qualifying points at Valhalla.
"It's for me to play well and take control and sort it out this week," said Donaldson. "I'm just trying to go out there and play as well I can and shoot as low a score as I can."
A shot behind Donaldson is England's Lee Westwood, who topped the leaderboard after day one as he searches for a first major title at the 67th attempt.
Compatriot Danny Willett made a blistering start, with two birdies and an eagle in the opening four holes, before finishing with a 66 to go six under for the tournament.

USPGA Round 2/4 Report

US PGA second-round leaderboard

-9: R McIlroy (NI)
-8: J Day (Aus), J Furyk (US)
-7: R Palmer (US), R Fowler (US), M Ilonen (Fin)
-6: P Mickelson (US), B Wiesberger (Aut)

World number one Rory McIlroy grabbed the halfway lead at the US PGA after a four-under-par 67 at Valhalla.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy is nine under par after two rounds, one shot clear of Australia's Jason Day (65) and American Jim Furyk (68).
Americans Rickie Fowler (66) and Ryan Palmer (70) and Finn Mikko Ilonen (68) are a shot further back on seven under, one ahead of Phil Mickelson (67).
England's Lee Westwood is four shots off the lead after a one-over 72.
Four-time champion Tiger Woods missed the cut, only his fourth in a major as a pro, after struggling to a second-round 74 for six over overall.
Unheralded Austrian Bernd Wiesberger carded his second successive 68 for a share of sixth with five-time major champion Mickelson, who eagled the last for a 67.
United States Ryder Cup vice-captain Steve Stricker, South Africa's former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Sweden's Henrik Stenson are tied for 11th on five under, alongside Westwood.
"I didn't get off to the best of starts but I righted the ship well, caught fire a little bit round the turn and am really happy with four under par," said McIlroy, who has carded 12 successive sub-par scores.
"I'm feeling good about my game, I'm confident and hitting the ball well for the most part. I'm in control of my game and my emotions and I will need to do that over the weekend as well."
McIlroy, 25, is hunting his fourth major title and his second in a rowhaving won his first Open Championship at Hoylake last month.
Having trailed the leaders by one shot overnight after a five-under-par first round of 66, McIlroy cemented his tag as pre-tournament favourite with some spectacular golf in difficult conditions.

BBC Sport golf correspondent Iain Carter

"Rory McIlroy is realising his immense potential having immersed himself in golf since ending his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki in May. His level of confidence and consistency is redolent of Tiger Woods at his best. Since his last 'Freaky Friday', when he shot 78 in the second round of the Scottish Open, this has been his scoring sequence: 66, 67, 66, 66, 68, 71, 69, 64, 66, 66, 66 and 67. This is why he is perfectly placed to claim his second major of an increasingly remarkable season."
Only 20 minutes after the first group teed off, play was suspended for almost an hour because of torrential rain in Louisville, Kentucky.
But when play resumed, 2012 champion McIlroy,  who is bidding to become the first man to win back-to-back majors since Ireland's Padraig Harrington in 2008, made light of the odd muddy ball.
He eagled the 18th, his ninth hole, to go out in 33 and had chances on his back nine to make his score even better than it was.
He missed a makeable eagle putt at the seventh after a magnificent five-wood approach from 240 yards, before leaving a birdie putt just short at the par-three eighth.
But he curled in a 16-foot birdie putt at the ninth to put daylight between himself and the field.
Some players who teed off early were critical of the decision to start the day's play in such inclement weather, then leave them out on the course in the rain and not allow preferred lies.
"I wasn't quite sure if we should have teed off to be honest with you," said Palmer, the world number 63.
"You could barely see the fairway. And we were questioning why we had to hit into a puddle because the first green was already under water."
Australia's world number two Adam Scott is two under after a second-round 69, while Bristol's Chris Wood, who was one shot off the lead overnight, is three under after a 73.
Jamie Donaldson, the only Welshman in the field, is also three under after a 70, while England's Ian Poulter, who is hunting a spot at the Ryder Cup, is one under after a 73.
Masters champion Bubba Watson, England's former world number oneLuke Donald and Spain's Sergio Garcia, runner-up to McIlroy in his last two events, carded 72s for level par overall.
Also level par is England's Justin Rose (72), while Northern Ireland'sGraeme McDowell, also a former US Open champion, birdied the 17th for a 70 to make the cut, which fell at +1, by one shot.
Scottish veteran Colin Montgomerie, who qualified for the tournament by winning this year's Senior PGA Championship, also made it to the weekend.
But Harrington, who narrowly missed an eagle putt at the last, and Germany's US Open champion Martin Kaymer both missed the cut by one shot.

USPGA Round 1/4 Report

US PGA first-round leaderboard

-6: L Westwood (Eng), K Chappell (US), R Palmer (US)
-5: J Furyk (US), E Molinari (Ita), Stenson (Swe), McIlroy (NI), C Wood (Eng)
-4: M Ilonen (Fin), J Kelly (US)

England's Lee Westwood is joint leader of the US PGA Championship after a six-under-par 65 on day one - a shot ahead of world number one Rory McIlroy.
Westwood, 41, is involved in a three-way share of the lead with Americans Kevin Chappell and Ryan Palmer.
However, four-time winner Tiger Woods struggled to a 74.
Northern Ireland's Open champion McIlroy finished with five birdies in seven holes and is in a tie for fourth with England's Chris Wood.
Edoardo Molinari, Jim Furyk and Henrik Stenson are also five under par.
Defending champion Jason Dufner withdrew with a neck injury after playing his first 10 holes in eight over.
Having fired a final-round 63 in Ohio on Sunday, Westwood will now be confident of qualifying automatically for his ninth consecutive Ryder Cup, which takes place at Gleneagles next month.
And his joint lowest round in a major also put him in the frame for a first major title, having had several near-misses.
"I've played better rounds of golf but I was really pleased with today," said Westwood, who has been part of six winning European Ryder Cup squads.
"I've started to feel like my swing was coming around. That 63 obviously gave me some confidence coming into this week."
Nine players qualify automatically for European captain Paul McGinley's squad, with his three wildcard picks to be announced on 3 September.
McIlroy is chasing his fourth major title and his third tournament win in a row after victories at the Open at Hoylake and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational last week.
The 25-year-old went out in three under par before a double-bogey at 10 and a bogey at 11 sent him tumbling down the leaderboard.
However, McIlroy demonstrated great powers of recovery, rattling off four straight birdies between 12 and 15 and just missing a long eagle putt at the last.

BBC Sport golf correspondent Iain Carter

"Another brilliant response from Rory McIlroy. His second shot at the 10th was his worst swing of the summer but to collect five back-nine birdies speaks volumes for his current confidence and the quality of his ball striking. Tiger Woods couldn't be further away in both regards. Valhalla was there for the taking and 74 was a poor return - Woods showed US Ryder Cup skipper Tom Watson nothing to encourage a wildcard pick."
"I was really annoyed," McIlroy said of his second shot at 10, which he hooked out of bounds.
"It was actually a bit of a shock, it's the worst shot I have hit the last few weeks. It came out of the blue and knocked me off track but to come back the way I did was great.
"It could have been a couple better but if those last few putts had dropped but 66 is a solid start."
Bristol's Wood, the world number 90, did not drop a shot and made five birdies, having missed the cut in two of his three previous US PGA appearances.
Dufner's injury means he might miss out on the Ryder Cup. The 37-year-old, who made his debut for the USA in 2012, has been struggling with bulging discs since the Masters in April. 
With Dustin Johnson taking a break from golf and fifth-ranked Matt Kuchar missing Valhalla with a back injury, US captain Tom Watson's problems are mounting.
Phil Mickelson, US PGA champion in 2005 and also hoping to nail down an automatic Ryder Cup spot, carded a 69 to finish four shots behind the early pacesetters.
Ian Poulter, who missed the cut at last month's Open Championship at Hoylake, opened up with an encouraging 68, the same as fellow Englishman Danny Willett and Ireland's Shane Lowry.
Wales' Jamie Donaldson birdied the last for a two-under 69, the same as American Rickie Fowler , joint runner-up at Hoylake and this year's US Open.
Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and Stephen Gallacher and Ernie Elsof South Africa carded 70s, as did Masters champion Bubba Watsonand US Open champion Martin Kaymer.
England's world number five Justin Rose and Spain's Sergio Garcia,who finished runner-up to McIlroy in his last two events, also carded 70s.
Australia's world number two Adam Scott got his campaign under way with a level-par 71, while Tom Watson carded a one-over-par 72.
