ATLANTA -- Rory McIlroy holed two shots on the 16th hole at East Lake that made him a most unlikely FedEx Cup champion on Sunday.The first one he didnt even see go in.Three shots behind with three holes to play at the Tour Championship, McIlroy holed a pitching wedge from 137 yards for eagle that gave him the spark he needed to close with a 6-under 64 and join a three-way playoff with the FedEx Cup title riding on the outcome.I knew I was right back in the golf tournament, he said.Four playoff holes later on the 16th, after Ryan Moore made a par putt from just outside 15 feet, McIlroy knocked in his 15-foot birdie putt to win two trophies that he desperately wanted -- the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup.Just to see that ball drop, and everything thats come together for me this year ... to pull it off was really special, McIlroy said, his voice still hoarse from screaming over so many quality shots, so many clutch moments over the final two hours at East Lake.McIlroy picked up $11.53 million in one day -- the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus and $1.53 million for the Tour Championship, his second victory in three weeks, making him the first player to win four FedEx Cup playoff events.His only hope was to win the Tour Championship and have Dustin Johnson finish worse than second alone. Johnson closed with a 73 and tied for sixth.In its 10th year, the FedEx Cup never had a finish like this.Moore, who got the last captains pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup team later Sunday, missed an 8-foot birdie putt by the slimmest of margins on the par-5 18th hole in regulation for a 64. In the playoff, he holed a 10-foot birdie putt with McIlroy facing a 6-foot eagle putt for the victory. McIlroy missed.Even on the final hole, Moore gave McIlroy everything he had. His chip over a ridge raced well past the hole, and it looked as though McIlroy would have to only two-putt for the victory. Instead, Moore holed another big putt.I just wanted to make him earn it for that much money at least, Moore said. I wanted him to make the putt. It was nice to get up and make it, but you give a great player like him that many opportunities, and hes going to make one eventually.Kevin Chappell had a two-shot lead with two holes to play when he made bogey on the 17th hole -- only his third of the week at East Lake -- and Moore birdied it in the group ahead of him. Chappell was woefully short on a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th for the win, and he was eliminated with a par on the first playoff hole when he made par.They finished at 12-under 268.Johnson surprisingly was never a factor, and he hit too many errant shots on the front nine and never recovered. He still would have won the FedEx Cup had either Moore or Chappell won the tournament, which he said would have been really cool.It didnt feel right because I didnt win the Tour Championship, Johnson said. Thats why I was here to win. I knew I controlled my own destiny.Johnson was second in the FedEx Cup and received a $3 million bonus.McIlroy had control of this all along once he got into the playoff, except for one nervous moment.He looked to put the perfect finish onto his big day when he hit out of the rough and over the water to 6 feet for an eagle putt on the par-5 18th in the first playoff hole. McIlroy was ready to pump his fist until his eagle putt slid by, and he removed his cap in disbelief.Returning to the 18th, McIlroy missed an 18-foot birdie putt for the win. On the third extra hole, the par-3 15th over the water from 201 yards, McIlroy had to make a 7-foot par putt just to stay in the game.Nothing was bigger than that birdie at the end. McIlroy stiffened his back, clutched both arms and shouted above the raucous cheers at East Lake.Ive made it no secret that its one of the last things I feel like I had left on my golf CV, and I made it a big goal of mine to win it, McIlroy said. To be here and to win the FedEx Cup ... to play the way I have in the last few weeks to get it done, is very special.It was the longest playoff in the 30-year history of the Tour Championship.Moore had to wait two hours to see if his performance -- a 66-64 weekend at East Lake -- was worthy of a captains pick. Davis Love III was to announce his decision during halftime of the Sunday night NFL game.Chappell headed into a month off trying to figure out what he has to do to win. He was runner-up for the fourth time this season -- twice to Jason Day, the No. 1 player in the world, and once to McIlroy. In those final rounds, Chappells scores were 67, 69, 69 and 66.Im proud of the way I fought, he said. It just wasnt enough. Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. Adam Graves Jersey . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. http://www.authenticrangersshopnhl.com/tie-domi-jersey/ . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. Jesper Fast Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Kevin Hayes Jersey . Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. Test rugbys most potent sibling partnership will start together for the All Blacks for the first time.After five impressive bench appearances, dynamic flanker Ardie Savea is in the run-on side to face South Africa in Christchurch on Saturday, replacing the injured Sam Cane.It is the only starting change from the side who roared away late to a 57-22 win over Argentina in Hamilton last week, extending the unbeaten All Blacks lead in the Rugby Championship.Openside flanker Cane suffered a hamstring injury which will sideline him for at least a month, opening the door for 22-year-old Savea to show his prowess from the opening whistle.He will do it alongside brother Julian, the 46-Test, 42-try winger who is four years his senior.With Julian returning to his best form in a patchy season, the Saveas represent a twin ball-carrying threat which is the envy of other international teams.They became the 44th set of All Blacks siblings in the first Test against Wales in June but this week will join just nine others in starting a Test together.Ardie Savea has been earmarked for higher honours since starring at schoolboy level and touring with the 2013 All Blacks to Europe as a non-playing apprentice.He has made a late impact in all five Tests but coach Steve Hansen last week said a starting role would test the mettle of the Hurriccanes dynamo.dddddddddddd.Hansen says the flanker is relatively light for Test forward at 102kg and will probably need to beef up to become more effective, especially on defence.His promotion creates room on the reserves bench for three-Test flanker Matt Todd, called into the squad when Cane was diagnosed.Injury has forced another bench change, with Aaron Cruden (groin) making way for Lima Sopoaga.Hansen has rarely altered his squad through the Rugby Championship and says he expects a fierce challenge from a Springboks side coming off two losses on the road.With South Africa having their backs to the wall, we know nothing but our best will be good enough. Accuracy with intensity will be paramount, he said.Whilst we have been reasonably happy with our three games to date in the Rugby Championship, we are always striving for improvement.New Zealand: Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (capt), Ardie Savea, Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody.
