World No.1, Rory McIlroy wins PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy awoke Sunday to a storm that forced him into a waiting game and then discovered a film crew inadvertently showed the golf world the pass code to his iPhone as he typed it in.

Ninety minutes later he faced the burden of keeping some of the biggest stars in golf at a distance and slugging it out with soggy Valhalla Golf Club to win the 96^th edition of PGA Championship.

Two hours into his final round, he had lost the lead he earned through the tournament's first 54 holes and looked puzzled as his game looked frazzled.

The world's No. 1 player finally gathered himself and remained collected the rest of the way as fireworks exploded on the prairies and backwoods of the Bluegrass State.

Barely beating the setting sun and approaching thunder and lightning, McIlroy held off Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson to win the last major of the season.

Ignited by an eagle from 7 feet on the par-5 10^th hole, and basically slamming the door shut on his competitors with a birdie from 10 feet on the 17^th, the former Boy Wonder won his fourth major of his young career, three of them in his last nine starts and two in his last two.

It turns out that Dustin Johnson's problems off the golf course are significantly worse than anyone might have imagined.

 

Johnson announced Thursday that he was taking a leave of absence from professional golf for personal reasons, and according to a report from Michael Bamberger and Michael Walker of Golf.com, he has been suspended by the PGA Tour for six months after failing a drug test with cocaine in his system:

According to the source, Johnson has failed three drug tests: one for marijuana in 2009 and two for cocaine, in 2012 and 2014. He was previously suspended for the 2012 failed test, but that suspension was never made public. Under the PGA Tour's drug-testing policies, the Tour is not required to announce any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs.

However, the pair state that the PGA Tour had not commented on the report at the time, and Johnson's attorney denied the claims of the source:
