On Sunday at the 2022 Tour Championship, McIlroy reminded he&#8217;s just as integral in the present.  Despite trailing by as many as 10 shots at East Lake Golf Club in the final event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, McIlroy rally Sunday to usurp world No.  1-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler, win the Tour Championship and bank the $18 million first-place prize that goes with the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some tournaments in which he digs himself into a hole from which he needs to fight out, McIlroy was nails from the start at East Lake by posting 67s in consecutive rounds to open play.  However, it was the back nine that he concluded early Sunday that made him a true contender as Rory birdied three of his last six holes to card a 63 and put pressure on Scheffler despite McIlroy sitting six shots back of the 54-hole leader.<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy&#8217;s fourth round started with a bogey, but he pulled even with Scheffler after scoring five birds across his next 11 holes.  Another bogey on the 14th pushed McIlroy back behind Scheffler, but Rory immediately responded with an astounding 31-foot birdie putt on the 15th that sent the crowd into a frenzy and again sat him in a tie atop the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p>It was the par-4 16th where McIlroy almost came undone.  Sitting in a fairway bunker after his second shot, his third flew over the green by nearly 30 yards.  However, Rory&#8217;s ensuing chip dinged the flag pole, Scheffler missed a 9-foot par putt and McIlroy scored par to take the solo lead as he became the first golfer to wrestle the ball spot away from Scheffler this week.<\/p>\n<p>Up by a stroke entering the 18th, McIlroy watched as Scheffler found a bunker only to follow by bouncing his own approach off the grandstand into the rough.<\/p>\n<p>Scheffler, a four-time PGA Tour winner this season and the world&#8217;s top-ranked golfer for nearly the entire year, tied for second alongside Sungjae Im;  each took home $5.75 million, splitting the second- and third-place prizes.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports will update this breaking news story shortly.
