PGA Tour
Rory McIlroy fine-tuned his swing and missed only one fairway at soggy Crooked Stick, powering his way to a 5-under 67 to win his second straight FedExCup Playoffs event. They followed a record win at the PGA Championship, giving him three wins in his last four starts to establish himself as the dominant player in golf. He faced the strongest collection of contenders at any golf tournament this year and it was no contest.
He became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA TOUR, and with his sixth career tour win, he joined Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win that many at age 23.
I don't think I'm quite there yet," McIlroy said. "But I'm getting to that stage where I'm thinking, `This is what I should be doing. I should be lifting a trophy at the end of the week.' It's been great. The last four, five weeks have been incredible, some of the best golf that I've ever played. I'm going to try and keep the run going for as long as possible."
McIlroy finished on 20-under 268 and earned $1.44 million, pushing him to over $7.8 million for the season to effectively lock up the money title and all but assured being voted by his peers as the PGA TOUR Player of the Year.
He has four wins on TOUR this year -- one more than Woods -- and that includes a record eight-shot win at the PGA Championship.
He is the No. 1 seed going into the FedExCup finale in two weeks at East Lake, but any of the top five seeds can win the TOUR Championship and capture the FedExCup with its $10 million bonus. The other four seeds are Woods, Nick Watney, Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker
Woods was never seriously in the mix. Five shots behind with seven holes to play, he made three late birdies and shot 68 to tie for fourth with Robert Garrigus (69).
Rory's Ryder Cup colleague Lee Westwood 69 and Phil Mickelson were 2 shots back at -16...
Graham DeLaet T35 at 283 , 64 70 74 75 -5 finished at 53 David Hearn is T65 292, 69 70 77 76 +4 and finished at 68 so both are done as far as the playoffs are concerned..
Remember only the top 30 go through to the Tour Championship at East Lake in 2 weeks..

European Tour
Hanson’s heroics seals KLM Open
Peter Hanson ended a difficult personal week on a dramatic high note after holing a 30ft eagle putt on the last hole to win the KLM Open in his last tournament before The Ryder Cup.
The Swede came close to withdrawing from the event at Hilversumsche GC after his one year old son Tim was hospitalised with a respiratory virus on Friday.
But with his son’s condition improving, his decision to continue paid off as he secured a fifth European Tour title with a stunning climax, closing with a 67 to finish on 14 under par, two shots clear of long-time leader Pablo Larrazábal and last week’s Omega European Masters champion Richie Ramsay.

European Senior Tour
INVALUABLE PRICE SECURES DOMINANT PON SENIOR OPEN VICTORY
Terry Price completed the most dominant victory of the 2012 European Senior Tour season with a final round of five under par 67 to record a stunning six-shot win over Marc Farry and Barry Lane at Winston Golf.
The Australian was simply unstoppable during the final round over the Winston Open course as he secured the first Senior Tour victory of his career and the first place cheque for €60,000.
With some of the Senior Tour’s biggest names – among them Lane and Bernhard Langer – starting their own final rounds with a bang, Price could have been forgiven for taking it easy and feeling his way into the final round, which he had begun with a three-stroke cushion.
But the 51 year old went on the attack from the word go, birdieing two of his first three holes to keep plenty of daylight between himself and the chasing pack

European Challenge Tour
Kaleka clinches second title in Russia
Alexandre Kaleka claimed his second European Challenge Tour title as his two under par round of 70 was enough to overcome Alessandro Tadini after a thrilling battle in the final day of the M2M Russian Challenge Cup.
The Frenchman began the day two shots off the lead held by Alessandro Tadini and, on an intriguing day where the lead was exchanged back and forth, he battled his way back from a double bogey at the 15th hole to claim his first title in three years.
The win moved him from 12th in the Challenge Tour Rankings to fifth and means he is now almost certain to earn a card for The European Tour next season.
Kaleka put the pressure on Tadini early on with birdies at the fourth and seventh holes, which him to the turn in two under par, but Tadini didn’t look like budging and also played the front nine in two under par to maintain his lead.
It all began to unravel for the Italian, however, and back to back bogeys at the 11th and 12th holes followed by another at the 14th put Kaleka into the lead.
