Summary
Wyndham Clark secured a third win of the year at the BMW Championship, holding off a late challenge from Rory McIlroy. Clark finished with a fourth-round 71 to finish 17 under par, while McIlroy, despite a fightback, ended four shots behind.
"I'm one of the best players in the world," said Clark, who has established himself this season after a difficult 2021.
McIlroy, seeking back-to-back Masters titles, needed a "heroic effort" to catch Clark, but missed a putt on the 14th with the scores tied, allowing Clark to regain his lead and ultimately secure victory.
