Splendid final round sees star emerge victorious after a week of turmoil

Rory McIlroy put personal turmoil behind him to win the European PGA Championship at Wentworth on Sunday and said he hopes it will help him become the dominant player in world golf.

The Northern Irishman, who announced his split from tennis star Caroline Wozniacki just days after sending out wedding invitations on the eve of the tournament, fired a sparkling six-under 66 to come from seven shots back and win by a shot from Ireland's Shane Lowry.
