Rory McIlroy regained the world number-one ranking on Sunday with a one-stroke victory in the US PGA Tour’s CJ Cup.
Three late birdies helped the Northern Ireland star hold off American Kurt Kitayama and return to the top of the rankings for the ninth time, and for the first time since his most recent spell there ended in July of 2020.
He supplanted American Scottie Scheffler, who finished tied for 45th to see his 30-week stint at the summit end.
