Jason Day cruises to victory at BMW

Jason Day shot a final-round 69 to close out a six-stroke victory at the BMW Championship in Illinois tonight.

The Australian, who led since the first round, picked up three birdies and a bogey during a steady final round at Lake Forest to finish on 22-under-par for the tournament.

Victory represents his second PGA Tour title - and seventh overall - since ending his Major hoodoo by winning the PGA Championship in August, having won The Barclays two weeks later.

Day's closest competitor was Daniel Berger, who finished on 16-under, while Scott Piercy ended up one stroke back in third.

Rory McIlroy finished in a three-way tie for fourth on 14-under, alongside Rickie Fowler and JB Holmes, while world number two Jordan Spieth ended up on 11-under, along with Justin Rose.
