Ireland's Shane Lowry produced a masterful third round to win the BMW PGA Championship on Sunday, his first title since winning the 2019 Open.
Lowry found a birdie on the par-five 18th at Wentworth for a blemish-free 65 to reach 18 under for his three rounds, one ahead of Spaniard Jon Rahm who had earlier set the course alight with a dazzling 62.
"I'm so happy, I can't put into words how much I love this Tour and this tournament. I'm the happiest man in the world right now." Lowry, along with McIlroy, had both voiced their disapproval at the fact that the likes of former Ryder Cup colleagues such as Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood were taking part.
Rahm played a spectacular back nine, taking just 29 shots with five birdies and two eagles taking him into the lead.
