LAS VEGAS (AP) – Rory McIlroy took his 20th PGA Tour victory when he least expected it. McIlroy was nine shots behind the start of the CJ Cup weekend at the Las Vegas Summit. He shot 62 on Saturday and then completed a one-shot win with a 66 on the final lap. He played over Rickie Fowler. And then he had to fend off Collin Morikawa, who had Eagle for a 62 on the last hole. McIlroy is the 39th player with 20 career wins on the PGA Tour. It is his fifth straight PGA Tour season with a win.
