Rory McIlroy Wins 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship

Rory McIlroy came from 6 shots back to win the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday at the TPC of Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. The win is the 12th of his career. However, it was his first PGA Tour title since 2015 when he won the Wells Fargo Championship. 

McIlroy bogeyed the 17th hole and had a one shot lead over Paul Casey going into the par-5 18th. 

The four time major champion striped his ball down the middle of the fairway and was left with 255 yards to the green, into the wind.

McIlroy went for the green in two and put his ball in the sand trap on the right. From there, he nearly holed the bunker shot for an eagle and had a tap in birdie to finish the tournament at 15-under par. 

Paul Casey, needed an eagle on the 18th to tie McIlroy but his attempt from about 60 feet did not drop, giving McIlroy the win.
