Rory got one he really wanted

Rory McIlroy insists he will not become obsessed by his quest to become world number one.

The Ulsterman missed a big chance to take over from Luke Donald at the top of the rankings when he lost 2&1 to Hunter Mahan in the WGC-Accenture Match Play final in Tucson on Sunday night.

It almost mattered more to the US Open champion that he crushed Lee Westwood 3&1 in the semi-finals to set up a shot at the top prize.
