There were some fantastic shots and stories, Gavin Wilson almost drove the 9th green and did drive the 16th green! The Gym work must be paying off! There were some great shots into the 10th hole!

MCILROY WINS FLAGSHIP EVENT

Rory McIlroy came from seven shots behind to claim a remarkable victory in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club.

McIlroy carded a closing 66 to win The European Tour's flagship event for the first time following a rollercoaster final day.

The Northern Irishman only took the outright lead for the first time with a birdie on the 71st hole and made another on the last to finish 14 under par, one ahead of Ireland's Shane Lowry with two-time winner Luke Donald and overnight leader Thomas Björn a shot behind in third.

McIlroy said: "It's been 18 months since I won on The European Tour and to win the flagship event, I could not have asked for any more".

"I knew coming in here I was playing well. I struggled a little on Friday but played great over the weekend. I was a little fortunate that some of the guys ahead of me made mistakes and I took advantage of it".
