SEOUL, May 10 (Yonhap) -- Rory Mcllroy (Northern Ireland) has done it again. McIlroy won the final round of the PGA Tour Wells Fargo Championship (total prize money of 8.1 million dollars) at Quail Harlow Club (par 71) in Charlotte, North Carolina, on the 10th (KST), with a total of 10-under-par 274.
By winning this year's championship, McIlroy was able to claim a 19th career title on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy, who rose to the top in two years after winning the HSBC Championship in November 2019, shook off the slump that has continued for the golfer earlier on this year.
Quail Harlow Club also became a "land of promise" for McIlroy. The 32-year-old golfer enjoyed his first PGA Tour victory at the Quail Harlow Club in 2010, and won the title for the third time in his career after 2015.
Rory McIlroy made his 10th appearance at the Quail Harlow Golf Club and showed off his perfect profile of being in the top 10 eight times, including three wins and one runner-up for the championship.
Abraham Anser (Mexico), who shot a 5-under-par 66, finished second by a stroke (9-under-par 275).
Keith Mitchell, Gary Woodland (USA) and Viktor Hovland (Norway) tied for third place (8-under-par 276).
Lee Kyoung-hoon (30), who hit an even-par 71, tied for 58th place (5-over-par 289).
Choi Kyung-joo (51), who lost four shots, tied for 70th place (8-over-par, 292).
