Defending champion Rory McIlroy produced a final round of 67 to secure victory at the CJ Cup and regain the tag of world number one.

The 33-year-old carded seven birdies to finish on 17 under par at the Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina, a shot ahead of American Kurt Kitayama despite bogeying the final two holes.
