BOSTON: Rory McIlroy ended a 16-month title drought on the PGA Tour with a brilliant last-day charge as he won the Deutsche Bank Championship by two shots on Monday in Norton, Massachusetts.
A distant six strokes behind overnight leader Paul Casey heading into the final round at the TPC Boston, McIlroy fired a sparkling six-under-par-65 in blustery conditions to post a 15-under total of 269.
Englishman Casey, hunting his second career win on the US circuit, led by three strokes after 54 holes but had to settle for second place after closing with a 73.
