Cameron Cantlay overcame blowing a five-shot lead to edge out Rory McIlroy with a dramatic three-shot victory at the BMW Championship. Cantlay saw his big overnight lead disappear during a thrilling Sunday at Bellerive Country Club, where the Open champion bogeyed three of his first 10 holes to give hope to McIlroy and the chasing pack. McIlroy found three birdies in a four-hole stretch around the turn to sit level with Cantlay heading into the closing stretch, only for his playing partner to post a three-birdie finish to cap off a roller-coaster victory in St. Louis.

A level-par 70 was enough for Cantlay to end the week on 17 under and close out a third PGA Tour victory of the season, following on from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the US Open, with McIlroy claiming solo second to progress through to next week's season-ending Tour Championship. Cantlay was tied for the lead with three to play but ended four back after a penultimate-hole bogey and McIlroy's impressive birdie burst, while Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Will Zalatoris shared fourth place.
