Rory McIlroy climbs back to World Number One
Rory McIlroy set a new record in a PGA Championship by winning with an eight-stroke margin, surpassing Jack Nicklaus's seven-stroke margin of victory at Oak Hill in 1980 and he becomes the youngest golfer to win two Majors since Spain's Seve Ballesteros in 1980. "I had a good feeling at the start, but I never imagined doing this. It means an awful lot to look at the names on that trophy and put mine alongside them" says Rory.
An Audemars Piguet Ambassador since July 2009, Rory possesses an exceptional technical mastery and attitude acknowledged from the beginning of his career in line with the Audemars Piguet spirit.
