By Alex Myers

McIlroy entered Sunday's final round with a three-shot lead, but after scrambling from wood chips to make a birdie on the par-5 second and following that up with a birdie on No. 3, there was never much drama. He closed with a bogey-free 66.

Here are the highlights of the final round that include Tiger Woods stalling again at a major and Ian Poulter making an incredible charge up the leader board early:

McIlroy is the youngest player since Seve Ballesteros to get to two major titles and he joins a small group of golfers that includes Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Gene Sarazen to win multiple majors before turning 24.
