Jason Day entered the final round of the BMW Championship with a six-shot lead and parlayed that massive margin into a tournament championship and the world's No. 1 ranking. 

Following a two-under showing Saturday that extended his lead to 20-under, Day shot two under Sunday to put a bow on yet another dominant showing.

The win was the fifth of Day's season and the seventh of his career, and it came with an $8.25 million purse on the line. According to GolfChannel.com's Nick Menta, Day joined Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh as the only players to win at least five tournaments in the same season since 1995.

His final card consisted of three birdies and just one blemish on the ninth.   

And while the final round may have lacked for drama, Rory McIlroy followed up a third-round 67 with an even-par 71 to finish 14 under. The highlight of his day came on the back nine, when a birdie on 13 and eagle on 14 made his double-bogey on the 10th a thing of the past, per the PGA Tour: 



His day wrapped up in encouraging fashion:
