ATLANTA – Despite stepping on the tee Thursday at East Lake already five shots back of leader Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy chased down the four players ahead of him, including Thomas, to take home his second FedExCup title.

McIlroy won by four shots in the new format, though it didn't matter. His gross score was still better than the other 29 in the field, including three lower than Xander Schauffele.
