Rory McIlroy continued his domination of the PGA Tour on Sunday with a win at the PGA Championship. The win was McIlroy’s third straight overall and second consecutive major victory. Rory made some timely shots all week to propel his way to another win, but his best save came after he was done playing.

As McIlroy was being handed the coveted Wanamaker Trophy, the presenter accidentally tilted the massive piece of hardware and the cover came off of it. McIlroy was able to grab the lid while holding his hat in his left hand.

When you’re locked in, you’re locked in. McIlroy admitted over the weekend that breaking up with Caroline Wozniacki has allowed him to focus more on golf and play better. There’s really no debating that at this point.
