LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) - Talk of the 'Tiger era' being replaced by a 'Rory era' escalated after Rory McIlroy thrust himself into golf's pantheon of greats by clinching his fourth major title at the 96th PGA Championship on Sunday.

While Tiger Woods ended a disappointing week at Valhalla Golf Club by missing the cut at a major for only the fourth time as a professional, McIlroy won his third consecutive tournament with a dazzling display of shot-making down the closing stretch.
