Rory Mcilroy at Wells Fargo Open


Rory Mcilroy was second best in North Carolina on Sunday night but still ended up on the top of the world.

The US Open champion returned to the number one spot in the world rankings after his joint second place finish at Wells Fargo Open.

Mcilroy was beaten in a three way play-off for the Wells Fargo championship by young American Rickie Fowler.

But joint second place was good enough to edge Mcilroy ahead of former number one, Luke Donald once again in the world ratings.

"That's nice. It's a little consolation. I would rather win the tournament, but yeah, it's good," said Mcilroy

"I want to try and play well for the next few weeks and try and solidfy my spot there at number one and hopefully I'm giving myself chance to win.
