Rory McIlroy wins Tour Championship and FedExCup (Reuters)

(Reuters) - Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy birdied the fourth extra hole to win the season-ending Tour Championship in a three-way playoff in Atlanta on Sunday along with FedExCup honors and the mind-boggling $10 million bonus.

American Dustin Johnson would have won the FedExCup had either Moore or Chappell won the playoff.

McIlroy vaulted into the playofff with a barnstorming finish to his final round, holing out from 140 yards to eagle the par-four 16th, before making a tap-in birdie at the par-five 18th.

He shot a closing 64 to join Moore, who also shot 64, and Chappell (66) at 12-under-par 268.
