Rory McIlroy storms to second victory in three weeks

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.

Never has McIroy in his seven-year odd time in the play-for-pay ranks won three times in the first half of a year.

And a fortnight after joining Jack Nicklaus and Tigers with 10 victories prior to his 26th birthday McIlroy was on the verge of becoming the winningest non-American with the most PGA Tour victories before the age of 30 and surpassing South African great Gary Player’s feat of 10 victories.
