LOS ANGELES, Oct 18 — Rory McIlroy captured his 20th career US PGA Tour title on Sunday, firing a six-under par 66 to win the CJ Cup by one stroke over Collin Morikawa.
McIlroy said the sting of his Ryder Cup flop in Europe’s record 19-9 loss inspired his improved play. Since World War II, only Vijay Singh and Gary Player have more US PGA victories than McIlroy among players from outside the United States. “I’ve been close before to opening my season with a win,” he said. “It’s great. It feels really good, some validation of what I’ve done the last few weeks. Just keep moving forward.”“It has been an awesome start to the season,” he said.
