Destiny, thy name is Rory McIlroy.

The 25-year-old is 18 holes away from winning his second major championship of 2014 and becoming only the 13th golfer since World War I to win back-to-back majors. Through 54 holes, he sits atop the 2014 PGA Championship leaderboard at 13 under:



For months and arguably the last few years, golf fans and writers have bemoaned the lack of a transcendent player like Tiger Woods. Nobody's really sure if Tiger can ever return to a level where he's competing for major titles again after all of his injuries.

Although the sport remains as deep as ever talent-wise, it still needs that one player to stand out above the rest.

McIlroy's made it clear before that he's more than willing to fill the void.

"Look, I said at the start of the year that golf was looking for someone to put their hand up and sort of become one of the dominant players in the game," he said last Tuesday, per The Guardian's Ewan Murray. "I felt like I had the ability to do that and it’s just nice to be able to win a few tournaments and get back to where I feel like I should be, which is near the top of the world rankings and competing in majors and winning."

It's one thing to say you're ready to become the biggest star in the game. It's another to go out and back that up on the course. And that's exactly what he did at the Valhalla Golf Club on Saturday. He began the day as the leader after two rounds and ended the day as the leader after three rounds.

You can see McIlroy's hole-by-hole score below.



Here's where he stands in relation to the rest of the leaderboard.



That top four sets up for two captivating final groups on Sunday. In one, you've got McIlroy and Wiesberger. In the other, Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson will be paired off. One of those four is not like the other, per ESPN Stats and Info:
