He kept us up late but it was flipping well worth it.
Rory McIlroy went on the CHARGE to claim the PGA Tour Championship after a closing round of 64 and some playoff shots for the ages.
The club twirl was out in force as McIlroy stared down Kevin Chappell and Ryan Moore.
It took a few holes to separate the trio but an excellent McIlroy putt sealed the deal, and with it cheques for $1.5m and $10m.
The watching world paid tribute to one of the great Sunday pursuits.
UFC president Dana White was one of the first to post his congratulations and Conor McGregor, who partied with McIlroy in Las Vegas after his UFC 202 win, retweeted.

5 points in the Ryder Cup bag for Europe next week if Rory McIlroy plays like he did tonight. That putt was worth $11.5million & took balls

Rory McIlroy has balls like baked potatoes. Be nice for him to win heading into Ryder Cup week.
