World No. 1 Rory McIlroy stormed his way to a second Wells Fargo Championship success, a second victory in three weeks, a third triumph this season and the 18th win of his professional career.

DARREN CLARKE’S attempts to end a two-year winless drought finished with a St Andrews ‘consolation prize’ after letting slip victory in the Barclays Scottish Open.

The new North of Ireland Amateur champion is Gareth Maybin, a 21-year-old from Ballyclare, Co Antrim, who beat Clandeboye's Chris Moriarty in the final by one hole.
