KIAWAH ISLAND, South Carolina (Reuters) - A bizarre rules infraction effectively cost Carl Pettersson second place at the PGA Championship on Sunday, though he still would have finished a distant seven shots behind runaway winner Rory McIlroy. The Swede was slapped with a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in a hazard on the first hole and he ended up tying for third, a closing two-over-par 72 leaving him nine strokes off the lead. It was the best of his three top-10 finishes in career majors, but left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. ...

KIAWAH ISLAND, South Carolina (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy brushed aside any lingering doubts over his ability to be a dominant force in golf by storming to a second major title with a stunning eight-shot victory at the PGA Championship on Sunday. McIlroy's first big triumph, a similar eight-shot victory at last year's U.S. Open, was followed by a series of poor showings in the majors, including a missed the cut in his title defense and tying for 60th place at the British Open last month. ...
