Only two golfers are standing between Rory McIlroy and $11.5m.
Well three if you count Dustin Johnson.
An amazing back nine in the final round of the Tour Championship has left the Hollywood native a mere play-off away from winning the FedEx Cup. The highlight of the round for McIlroy was undoubtedly this magnificent eagle on the 17th.

After such a phenomenal back nine, it looked like McIlroy's luck had run out on the 18th green when he found the bunker. However, he hit a beautiful shot from the sand that left him with an easy birdie a couple of yards from the pin. He made the putt which left him with a score of 64 for the final round.
With McIlroy, Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell finishing on the same score, they entered a three-man play-off. If McIlroy wins he also wins FedEx Cup and will be a cool $11.5m richer. If either Moore or Chappell win, Dustin Johnson will win the FedEx Cup and will bank the big money prize.
