Lowry was emerging as the likeliest contender to McIlroy but, in reality, he never really got close enough to cause any wobbles.
McIlroy reeled off four more birdies from the 11th to the 14th and reached -22 with four holes to play.

Just as onlookers started to whisper about a McIlroy round on 59, his charge was slowed by a par on 15 and his first bogey of the round on the 16th.
Then, on 17, McIlroy bombed a 320-yard drive and pinged a 7-iron approach to within three feet before getting the tap-in eagle to go -10 for his round.

On the 18th, McIlroy found the greenside bunker but went for it with his third. It wafted by the hole so he had to settle for a bogey and a closing round of 61 to win by 7 shots from Lowry and Simpson (-15).Explore more on these topics:
