Jason Day had little trouble in wrapping up a wire-to-wire victory at the BMW Championship in Illinois by six shots and become world No 1 for the first time in his career.
Day did most of his damage on the opening two days, reaching halfway at an incredible 18 under, and even a couple of less impressive rounds on the weekend never looked like stopping him.
The Australian parred his first seven holes before making a birdie at the par-five eighth, but he gave that shot straight back at the ninth.
He picked up another shot at the 16th and moved to 22 under at the last, where a sublime pitch from the rough left him with a couple of feet for yet another birdie.
None of his biggest rivals was able to mount a serious Sunday challenge, Day extending his lead to seven at one point, and it would be left to youngster Daniel Berger to claim second place.
