San Francisco - Rory McIlroy (above) delivered an overwhelming back-nine performance on Sunday for a two-stroke victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, to capture his 27th career US PGA Tour title.
The 35-year-old four-time Major winner from Northern Ireland made three birdies and an eagle after the turn to fire a six-under-par 66 and finish on 21-under 267 at the famed oceanside course.
"Some people would argue that the golf courses I've won on are not up to a Pebble Beach or an Augusta or whatever, but to win at one of the cathedrals of golf is really, really cool," McIlroy said.
