Only two golfers are standing between Rory McIlroy and $11.5m.
Well three if you count Dustin Johnson.
An amazing back nine in the final round of the Tour Championship has left the Hollywood native a mere play-off away from winning the FedEx Cup. The highlight of the round for McIlroy was undoubtedly this magnificent eagle on the 17th.
Rory McIlroy! One back with two holes to go.

After such a phenomenal back nine, it looked like McIlroy’s luck had run out on the 18th green when he found the bunker. However, he hit a beautiful shot from the sand that left him with an easy birdie a couple of yards from the pin. He made the putt which left him with a score of 64 for the final round.
With McIlroy, Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell finishing on the same score, they entered a three-man play-off. If McIlroy wins he also wins FedEx Cup and will be a cool $11.5m richer. If either Moore or Chappell win, Dustin Johnson will win the FedEx Cup and will bank the big money prize.
