Rory McIlroy has become the first UK player to win back-to-back majors.
Three players were still in contention at the final hole, with heavy rain having earlier led to a two-hour delay.
Rory McIlroy, 25, had earlier seen his overnight one-shot lead wiped out on the front nine and was three shots behind the leaders at one point before taking control after the turn.
A three-under 68 on the final day saw off Phil Mickelson, with Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson a shot further adrift.
Rory McIlroy later credited the “best golf of his life” with producing a summer beyond his “wildest dreams”.
His resurgence on the back nine capped an enthralling final day and saw him become the third youngest player of the modern era – after Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus – to win four of golf’s biggest prizes.
Rory McIlroy also becomes the first man to win back-to-back majors since Ireland’s Padraig Harrington in 2008.
